This one’s for Zoe
Because she likes firemen
Rob and I were out for our evening stroll around the village yesterday when we could see what looked like the road on fire. When we got closer it was obviously a car in flames. There were one or two other people around watching and pretty soon a fire engine arrived. I was a little disappointed that the siren wasn’t sounding, but there wasn’t any other traffic, fortunately. The four firemen soon put it out and I was surprised that, even though the car had been a ball of flames, the inside wasn’t burnt. One of the fireman opened a door and fetched out a coat and mini skateboard and handed them to the people who were the car owners. An electrical fire perhaps.

We don’t usually have such excitement in l’Houmeau on a Saturday night

Keith: Thank you for your comments. I didn't delete your comment, did you?

Zoe; do you mean hot or 'hot'? There are even more around at the moment as they are on strike.

Pam;Thanks and to you too.

I've never seen a car fire. It's good that nobody was hurt. Cars can be replaced.

It must have been something to watch.
