Nearly lost my shop today to fire.

My brother and I are sitting in the house taking a break from the heat, when the dog started barking. He barks whenever anyone pulls up in the yard. So, my brother gets up to see who it is, and I hear," Oh S#%?!", and he heads out the door. I jump up and head out when I saw a lot of smoke billowing up behind my shop. I thought it was my shop until I see the fireman spraying the shop from the neighbors yard. The back of the neighbors house is only about 10 feet from the back of my shop. It was engulfed in flames. My neighbor lost everything, even his 2 dogs. I have more water damage than fire damage, but nothing too bad. I've got to give a big Thanks for our Local Volunteer Fire Dept. They were awesome.
 
Whew close call. To bad about the dogs everything else can be replaced.

Way up here our fire departments have special sayings one has joking shirts that say" same day service". Other is " haven't lost a basement yet".
 
Dang, that is scarey ! Glad it wasn't worse for you than it was and sorry about your neighbor's loss.
