Public Service

Yesterday at 6:00 AM we had a HUGE Storm and there was One HORRID Crash of thunder...  we KNEW it was REALLY CLOSE... butt did NOT know it had hit our neighbor's house...In FACT... nobuddy knew.    This is the Blue house..   Across the street 4 houses UP... the other way from our POND...    The people didn't know it had hit their house either...    until 3:00 PM when Smoke started coming out of the gables....  

Fire Dept. was Called....      and     they put our MOM to work...  More on that in 87 seconds...
That White Mail Box is OURS... the people are Neighbors...  

There were 3 Fire Trucks... two pumping water...  and ONE...   had to come up to get more water FROM OUR POND.... and they didn't have enough people to Direct the TRAFFIC....

SO......    MOM had to stand at the Corner of Maple Ln Dr. and Lakeview... and keep peeps from Driving down along OUR POND... where the Filling truck was....
     They gave her a VEST and Orange Cones...

 Between Cars....  she had somebuddy Standing in the Yard Next to OURS... to go tell our Dad to get bottles of Water fur the HOT Fire Fighters....  He bagged up a BUNCH of bottles.. and sent bottles to MOM...    and she Delivered some to The Two, at the POND PUMPING TRUCK...
    It was Really HOT and Sunny and the Fire Fighters were all Thirsty...    

 WE don't much like showing mom's picture on here... butt this was somethingy... DIFFERENT.  
      Our mom was doing her pawt to HELP a NEIGHBOR... and to Help our Beloved Furst Responders...    They never get enough HELP or HONOR....         Our Pawlice, and Military, and Emergency and Fire Depts.      THOSE folks are all TRUE SUPER HEROS.    They DESERVE to have all the help and consideration that can Pawsibly be HEAPED UPON THEM by Appreciative  Citizens.      THEY are our Finest...  Our Public Servants...    They do SO much fur SO Many...  

 Sometimes you just gotta do the Right THINGY...   and remind everybuddy that we ALL need to do our Public Service....    
   One of the On Lookers.... took these pictures of her...
      She was SMILING...... beclaws.... the Fire Guys had just told her .... the FIRE WAS OUT and the HOUSE was NOT BADLY DAMAGED...      there was only Smoke Damage...

We are all Sad that Lightning Struck their house... but  HAPPY That it was SAVED.
 
   All THANKS to the Quick Response and Fine Training of   our VOLUNTEER  Fire Department...               If you see a PUBLIC SERVANT... AKA... FIRST RESPONDER ....  tell him or her
                                                                     THANKS!

THANK GOODNESS.....  the Fire Guys took the Vest Back...    it wasn't a good look fur our mom.   Just Sayin.
