Catching Up-Part 10
The day before Valentine's day, Drew and I came home from a busy day of shopping. When we pulled up to our house, we could smell smoke...like a camp fire. We didn't see any smoke. I checked our house through and through and even went into the attic. We went outside and could still strongly smell smoke. We looked all around our house and the surrounding houses but saw no smoke. I was gonna just let it rest, but I was concerned a neighbors house may be on fire. To be on the safe side, I called the fire department and described the situation. They wanted to come out and check. After looking all around our house and the surrounding neighbors homes, they still couldn't find the source. They too could smell it...thank goodness it wasn't just me. After using a tool that I'm assuming detects smoke unseen by the eye, they found that the neighbor on the corner had left papers burning in their grill. Is that legal? They said people do that instead of shredding documents...how unsafe and ungreen. They were glad I called...even though I kinda felt bad they made a trip out over nothing. I knew we had to find a way to thank them. Later that week, Drew and I delivered some Jason's deli trays to them. How sweet is our little fireman!
