There's a Burning Car in My Yard...
Jan. 14th, 2009 01:55 amHoly bejeebus. There was a burning RV in front of my house!
I don't have the faintest clue what happened, but suddenly the curtains were a blazing red, and I look outside and there's this huge RV entirely engulfed in fire. I rushed outside just in time to see something explode and this huge mass of smoke rose up with flaming debris falling everywhere. What the hell? Typically, you only see things like that in the movies and most definitely not in front of your home.
This was the first time that I was grateful to live right down the street from a brand new fire station (the constant sirens are the bane of my existence). Thankfully, the people who I presume were at one point in said RV got out before the whole thing went up in fire and brimstone because I watched them give statements to the police. They were entirely unsinged, and the paramedics had no one to put on their stretcher. But how they managed that I really don't know, because the thing was in the street, not parked, so they must have driven it to that point before stopping. And that thing was completely on fire. It must have gone up like kindling. There was only a bare skeleton left by the time the firefighters hosed it down, and it couldn't have been on fire for more than a few minutes.
Random.
