Fire Burning

It was Wednesday morning at 3am when the sirens were heard. I was fast asleep, snug in my bed, just getting into the good part, after the forgotten dreams, the deep deep snoring sleep. My dad woke me up, and told me I should get dressed incase we had to evacuate. I was in a slight panic... I saw the flames out the kitchen window. Took a deep breath, I chastised myself for my lack of organization I should have had all my financial documents organized in one place that I could grab easily in a situation like that but I don’t... still don’t..

So I just packed up my laptop, and as I was doing so there was the huge bang... an explosion something that shook our house that was when we hurried outside to the truck. It was many hours after until the finally got the flames under control. The local volunteer firefighters did an amazing job, they kept our house safe. And it took them hours and hours of work, afew of them were sent to hospital for exhaustion.

It was all very scary. The good thing is that no one was actually hurt, everyone made it out okay but I was terrified, its just weird to see a fire so up-close and personal I’m not a brave person. And this really drove that home.

So that was the big event of my week. Other than that my lifes pretty standard and uninteresting.
