Emergency!!

I just heard something you NEVER hear in our small town of 4100 people - the fire engines take off out of the station a few blocks from our apartment, sirens blaring.

The last time anyone heard that was almost a year ago when the elementary school I attended burned to the ground. The staff managed to get all the students out and there were only minor injuries suffered by the firefighters themselves. All staff & children were safe. It was such a big deal that it made the news in New York - one of the daily morning shows aired it.

Crap - now the ambulance and police cars are screaming past - this could be very bad.

I know how that goes, we live in a small town that my husband is a firefighter/e.m.t.
we have had
a motel burn down, a gas station explode, an autobody paint shop explode, and multiple house fires, not to count all the car fires or wrecks.
