"We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning.."

I almost forgot to say what happened today.

So, my neighbor calls me, and says something's on fire in my backyard. My first reaction was just...shock and awe.

So anyways, she(my neighbor) said that she called the fire dept.

So, I run outside, and see that something on the power/telephone pole is on fire. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been.

So, I try and call my dad because I'm home alone. Of course, his cell phone was turned off. Then, i waited outside for the fire department to come. You can easily tell when they're coming even without the siren.

So, they got there and went into the backyard and saw it and were talking about how to put it out. It turns out it was some kind of circuit box. So, they get the hose and spray it. So the fire goes out.

So, then they leave. While they're leaving, my dad gets home and I explain everything. About five minutes later I show him what was on fire, and it's burning again. The little devil had sparked and flared up again. So, we call the fire department and they're like, "We were just there." And my dad's like "well, it's on fire again!"

So, the fire department arrives again, and by now, we've got neighbors everywhere.

So, we all sorta chat. Then, the fire department sprays it again, for a longer time. But it still doesn't go out. So, they set of the yellow tape to block it off because by now sparks are flying onto the ground. So, they call the electric company, and they're really busy because of the storms and junk. So, we all sit outside and talk (including the firefighters) then, the elec. company finally gets here. So, this was the coolest part.

They get out this hammer than can expand its length. So, a guy knocks on he burning circuit box and the bottom half falls to the ground. Then, all of this reddish orange molten metal stuff falls out. It was awesome!!

So, then they get to work with replacing it. While all of this is happening most of the block (except our house ) had the power out. So, they replace the circuit box and everyone gets their power back.

So, the fire department leaves, and all the excitement was over. So that took up half of my after noon.

Pretty exciting no? (I just realized, I used so like...too many times My english teacher would be displeased )
