Approximately 12:28,
lunch time,
I heard sirens.
And then the heavy,
certain sound/rumble/roar/dread
of fire engines
coursing through Colington Harbour.
Just short of 2.5 miles into the Harbour,
after turning left at the Guard Gate,
a home was on fire.
I saw swisps of black smoke
wafting into the air.
The Colington Volunteer Fire Department
was on this in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately,
I've seen several fires out here.
Usually the smoke belches out
black and deathly.
What I would call
mushroom cloud-like.
This afternoon,
not so.
Thankfully.
Mr. H. and I drove there late this afternoon.
(4 ish)
A fire engine and some official,
I believe,
perhaps the Chief,
were still there.
We went to the end of the street
which faces West,
Sunset on the Sound,
turned around,
and came back,
rubber-neckin'.
Just what the Fire Department
wants and needs.
Here's Mr. H.'s pic.
We stopped and chatted
with an old friend
who lives right up the street.
No one was hurt.
Physically.
But Rosie will certainly
get to the bottom of this.
Sooner,
if not immediately.
