A fire at my house

A couple of hours ago I walked out of my house, holding a can of coke. I heard a strange spitting/fizzing noise from the left, and suddenly noticed smoke rising from behind the garage. I quickly had a peep, and then rushed back to the house to tell my family. My mum quickly called 999, after which she drove me and my sis up the road, where we watched from a safe distance, and went round alerting the neighbors. My mum and dad quickly moved all cars well away, as the fire was getting close to them. A good 10 or 15 minutes later (Yes, they were really that slow), the fire brigade arrived at our house, and got rid of the fire. However, to spray the top of the trees, the electricity needed to be turned off – so we waited some more time for the EDF Man to arrive.

In the end its all out, but a lot of my garden has been ruined. The flames didn’t touch the house thankfully, as the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. Basically, the fire was started by the electricity wire touching the trees.

Here are some photos I quickly took from my iPhone:

So all in all everythings safe
