Fire!!!!!!!

Yesterday, we were all going about our buisness, when Emily said "Um, our brush is on fire." We all looked out the window and our burn barrel (which we burn our paper garbage in) had a huge hole in it, and fire had come out of it and caught all the brush on fire! So I scream for mom, and rush outside. We hooked up the hose to the outside faucet, and started spraying. And of course our fire extinguisher was not working! I grabed a shovel and started to beat down the flames with mom, and the girls were getting water in buckets and throwing it on the flames. We finally put it out, after inhaling enough smoke to last us a lifetime! But we all thanked God for protecting us. Good thing we were home!

Wow!!! Thank God you guys caught it!
Our area has a "no burn" policy until further notice due to the dry weather.
