holy crap fire

My fourth of July was nuts... A neighbor kid that was setting fireworks off with us. He just decided to leave his sparkler in a rosemary bush next to my parents house. He was rather young. The next thing we knew the bush was lit up huge like if it was a giant match head and it was a little crazy... My dad got the normal garden hose on it and it hardly did anything. It was nuts, then I ran inside and got a huge pitcher of water and I remember throwing it in at it and it did nothing as well. I was like damn... I don't envy firefighters... Because for a second I could see how you could feel helpless against a fire. Man so the next thing I knew I ran inside to get the car keys so I could the cars out of the driveway because they were within a foot from the huge fire. And as I did that I looked up from across the street now and like a neighbor came running in super fast and had a fire extinguisher. Between the garden hose and extinguisher the fire was able to go out. But dam it happened so fast... and it was a ton of adrenaline.
