Back Alley Excitement

I've been posting quite a bit about fires lately, and yesterday there was another one right in the back alley! At four in the morning, Kirt woke up to investigate a strange noise (which is odd because he can sleep through anything) He looked out the blinds and said "holy sh*t!" The neighbours garage was on fire.

Dad happened to be up visiting, and he heard the same strange noise (which turned out to be an oxy/acetylene tank releasing). I took pictures while Kirt ran to rescue his truck which was parked behind the garage, and dad started hosing down the other garages until the fire dept. showed up.


Our garage is on the left.

 
And guess who happened to be on the end of the hose? Fireman Steve!

Their garage, motorcycle and all of his tools are toast, but luckily no one was hurt. Coincidentally, they had just moved their two sports cars out of the garage that day to make room for a party they were going to be having. So it could have been much worse. Good job FMM fire dept! And garden hose operators Ken & Kirt.
