The boredom has lifted here - at 10.00 blue flashing lights slowly crawled up road till they got to house just over the road. - One big fire engine - seems guy has a chimney fire - he had one a year or so ago and council put a liner down his chimney - Looks like he has another fire but not in liner - there was smoke trickling out from bricks so it looks like it's between liner and brick chimney.

30 min ago fire engine went or so I thought but he moved further up road and now one big cherry picker has arrived. I would take pictures but I don't have a phone with a camera on.

Big line of zimmer frames lining road opposite. :D

Edit

Damn it - they decided they didn't need cherry picker - still a fire engine though but can't see any smoke.

Edit 2 -
what a anticlimax - everyone just stood looking at chimney - I think firemen were inside knocking hole in chimney breast - fire is out so off they went - poor old bloke and his misses can't have a fire and they heat house and water with it - Bet council won't fix it and give them a oil boiler - that won't please him as he uses the wood he gets from doing gardening jobs and things

We had a car in the side of a house in Robertsbridge yesterday. Police, Ambulance and a big maroon Rescue lorry.

Only saw a bit but I suspect older person pressing the wrong pedal.
Andi.

I recall a being at a friends house a few years ago when their neighbour had a fire. It spreads alarmingly quickly.

My daughter was quite shook up yesterday as she was on the front carriage of the train involved in this:

Can't remember exactly what I said but was joking once about people being late on the train and turns out they'd had front row seats to a (graphic) suicide and did not take it as a joke :s
 
Back in the late 60's the house next door had a Chim, Chim, Chim, Chimney fire.

Of course, with the Apollo missions being foremost in my mind at the time, my impression was very much of an upside-down rocket!

(The flames must have been going 20 or 30 feet beyond the top of the chimney. It was intense and the neighbours were very lucky not to lose the house! :eek: )
