Late for work...

seems to be a firebug in our town right now, 3 vacant houses lit up in the last four days.
unfortunately we have a couple of them right across the street from us.
some guy bought them last month, wants to put in some condo's.
at about 4:30 in the morn i wake up to some big diesel engines running outside our house, and a bunch of banging. thought they were going to start demo'ing the houses. being in the construction biz and knowing the rules, i went outside to remind them the noise bylaw does'nt kick off for almost 3 more hrs.
imagine my surprise....(not really...)

had a condo fire about 4 blocks from us a few yrs ago, dropped ash and embers all over our house and vehicles leaving a bunch of little black burn marks everywhere.
my first instinct was to get my crew out of there (new paint) but luckily the wind was blowing away from us, but not so lucky for my neighbor who lives beside it, his house got SMOKED big time...
could'nt have moved the truck anyways, they ran a line past my driveway to the hydrant at the end of the street

stellar work by our fire department, they had it under control and out in about 20 mins before anything else lit up. they also rolled their line and moved a truck so i could get out for work, ended up being only half a hr late for work
