I heard the wail of the siren from far off before seeing the rising smoke. The smell of burning soon permeated my sense of smell. I am terribly sensitive to smell and now I am wondering, 'What in the world is that strong smell?' Oh. It's there.
Already, I am nursing a slightly sore throat because of the construction going on in front of my home and now there's something burning behind my home as well? What does it take to have fresh air these days????
It appears that there is something serious burning going on because the wail of the siren became louder. Soon, there is a little (well, not so little) red truck chuggin' into the picture.
My concern was that the source of the fire is very close to a petrol station. Fire. Gas station. Worrying, don't you think? Anyway, the firemen didn't think so. I think some trees are burning up or somefink, not worrying enough.
So, they sauntered around the truck, languidly spoke to each other and the people around the place and 10 minutes later, only the faded scent of smoke filled my kitchen. No more coming from the burning place.
The firemen probably made some new friends out there too as they lounged around for a bit outside with the locals...trying to determine the cause of the fire, I think. I can only conclude that maybe they think a cat carried a torch up the now-scorched trees.
I don't know about that, man. :-)
