Fire!

A small brush fire kick started the weekend at the School.  Friday, just before we were done watching "Rush Hour" in the computer lab after school, a brush fire started in the elementary school down the street and spread all the way to the computer lab.  We got the hoses out and fought it off.  It was actually kinda fun!  Despite several calls to the "fire brigade", no one showed up to help put it out.  Never the less, we were able to get it out, an hour and a half later.

The wind kicked the flames up about ten feet at times.  It was actually a pretty big fire.	The fire actually got to within six feet of the computer lab.  Since the building is made of brick I don't think it was ever in danger of burning down, but hey, it's the principle of the thing.  No fire is threatening our computer lab!	We didn't have anything to connect the hose to the water spout (go figure), so we had a learner hold it.  Fun job, eh?	The fire spread much further to the right of this picture, but this is the closest point it got to buildings.
