Scary Night






It was a scary night for the Stones last night..
About midnight a man woke us up ringing the
doorbell and yelling 'Fire'... Luckily it was the
house next door and NOT our house. The next
door house has been vacant for about a year
while the owner tries to sell it. It was already
blazing when we woke up. Six fire trucks and
three ambulances were on the scene with 5
minutes of getting the call. They battled the
65 year old house until 6:30 Saturday morning.
The climax came about 1am when the roof caved
in, sending flames 45-50 feet into the night sky.
The firemen kept a steady stream of water on
my house to prevent the flames from jumping
to it. We did NOT suffer any physical damage,
but our house does smell like smoke this
morning...It could have been a lot worse, and
we are extremely thankful for the positive outcome.
Our house is to the left of the burning house in
the photos.
Thank you's go out to the Denison Fire Department
and to the almighty Lord..
