not your average thursday night in the hood

tonight while talking with neighbors
we noticed black smoke coming up from behind the house across the street

at first we thought it was a bonfire
but then decided to go check it out when the smoke kept coming

we were surprised to find a brush fire
the width of 2 houses!




the fire department was very quick to respond
they brought a jeep i didn't even know existed


and drove it right into the fire


it was actually kind of cool seeing how they put it out -
they used the jeep and then several of them had backpacks on
that held water and had hoses off of them


the entire neighborhood came out to watch the show


the girls made sure to grab a few selfies
and the boys quickly jumped in and got a few shots of their own


the firemen did a great job of talking with our kids
and making it an interesting/fun experience
instead of something that could have been scary



thank you blaine FD#3!
