A Community Service Message from El Suburb!

We were driving home from dinner when we passed through a big, smelly cloud of smoke.  We tried to figure out where it was coming from, got it narrowed it down to 1 or 2 houses and were debating about whether to call 911 (since the cloud seemed to have vanished), when a cop car pulled up.  Another cop, an EMT and a fire engine later, it was determined that one of our neighbors had started a fire in his fireplace, but hadn't cleaned his chimney in a very, very long time.

Three useful lessons:
1) we have alert neighbors
2) El Suburb's finest have a very quick response time
3) clean your chimneys, kids!
