Late night shock!

Home late - and the local streets are clogged with fire tenders, crews, fire vans and police cars. You can smell the fire, but we couldn't get past the throng of lights and gear.

So first thoughts are there has been a fire. The second thought is: where is it? ... and then the sinking feeling ... 

A little later on, after chatting with the police, we fortunately got to feel the sorrow for the neighbour over the road and the guilt that we could feel relieved it wasn't ours. Fortunately, nobody was badly hurt and the fire was out before it spread to the adjoining properties.
