Fire at JJs


Okay, there are reasons people say don't lean on the window screen, don't run with scissors, don't point guns at people and don't barbeque next to the house! The local market down the street has a large barbeque grill going every day outside the store right in front of the building next to a porch pillar to the right of the main opening. A couple of Fridays ago a bush near the grill must have caught fire and the fire jumped to the building and went up inside one of the porch pillars.

Just at that time, one of the county fire department trucks pulled up to buy lunch - a daily routine! They immediately noticed the fire and turned around and jumped into their gear, radioed for back up and in no time flat 2 more engines arrived. They put the fire out in no time. I always thought it was very risky to have the barbeque grill so close to the building!
