My Neighbours Shed on Fire

My Neighbors Shed on Fire

I was looking forward to a relaxing evening after completing my assignment, but as I was downing a glass of wine watching tv, Dan notices a 'bonfire' in one of our neighbours gardens. It was a large fire and I thought 11:15pm was an unusual time to have a bonfire especially at this time of year so went out to have a look. A shed was on fire in our neighbours garden. Called fire brigade and went to see if I could raise the alarm at the house. The shed was in the garden of a house in the next street to mine, their gardens back onto our streets. As Dan and I turned onto the street one of the residents of that street had just come out of his front door having heard the 'Whoomf!' that bottles of things in sheds make when they burn. Nobody was in at the house so the neighbours next to the garden were alerted and were soon out with their garden hoses. After just a few minutes we could here sirens in the distance and I went to the bottom of my street so I could direct them into what I hoped was the closest place to reach the fire. It seemed to be ages before the fire was out so whatever the 'whoomf!' was was fuelling the fire quite nicely.
