Fire!

Yesterday I am innocently minding my own business outside taking the laundry off the line.  All I heard the entire time I am out there is siren after siren after siren. Some sounded far away and then they sounded closer and closer.  Turns out there was a double whammy in the neighbourhood.  First there was a car accident at County Line and Blair Mill and then there was a fire at the Dairy Queen. Oh no say it isn't so!  Sad but true.  I lament the loss of the DQ while Parker laments the loss of the drycleaners that was in the same strip mall and the 6 shirts he had there being cleaned.  Sighs.  Anyway, because curiosity got the better of me Rowan, Lily, Johnny, McKenzie and I headed out on a trek and walked up to the Acme to get a better view.  The fire was almost out when we got there but there was alot of activity and people were telling me the flames were pretty impressive at the beginning.  It seems as if the fire started in the laundromat in the same strip mall but no official cause has been given yet.
