Lots and lots of flashing lights.

Last night a bit before midnight, I was awaken by sirens.............Oh, man....here is a firetruck rounding the corner down into our court.....Wait....those flashing lights are stopping just past our trailer.........
No, ..... no.....here is truck # 2, and truck # 3....... all rushing to the corner trailer..... wait those people have a newborn, just came home recently......

Then comes the fire chief.......... and Truck # 4 and truck # 5...... and truck # 6
Five and six were released almost right away, but # 4 was parked in the entry way into our court.

Then we see Melinda........ ( the community busy body?) She stated that the lady next door to her woke up smelling smoke.......Grabbed the baby and went outside......Screaming for Melinda to call 911 and take the baby...... then got the other two children out of the front bedroom.
Every body got out of the trailer safely before the firemen arrived.

She stated they smelled gas, and the kitchen stove was on fire....
The firemen even got their chain saw out......

The ambulance didn't even come into the court..... They came in on foot from the front street between the trailers.....

We know they got out safely, but Hope and pray they are all okay. After all, the baby is very, very young.

This guy was sitting right outside my bedroom window in the entrance to the court.
And this is what it looked like from our patio door.
One thing for sure, They did respond, and they stayed until everything was safe.
Thank you DFD for arriving so swiftly.
This morning, I noticed two more men came back and checked things out.
The fire investigator arrived there at the time the firefighters were still there in the middle of the night.
My thoughts and prayers are with this family today.

Wow Verna...that was a scary thing to be going on so close to you...and lots of fire trucks for one call.

I am glad the neighbors all got out safely and I hope the baby is ok.
