I'm glad that Don noticed the clock -- It's what gives me the chills when I walk by. I'm sorry I couldn't do justice to it. But I couldn't get the right angle.
This is the house of our backyard neighbors.
I was talking on the phone to a friend when she asked: "Do you smell smoke?"
No.
But the I heard the sirens.
Something made me look out my back window and I saw flames through the trees.
"The house behind us is on fire!!"
I felt strange wanting to go in and get my camera. It seemed tacky, so I didn't. But I did have to take some photos with my phone.
The determined it was an electrical fire. No one was home at the time, but they did pull in just a few minutes after the fire dept got there.
Another neighbor noticed it and kicked in the door and was able to save the two dogs.
Thanks for the comment!

I gave you an eight, you are one of the few that really met this challenge. How sad for your neighbour. Can’t get over how many fires start with an electrical fault. I wonder if they had a safety cut out switch?
just looking at this photo gives me anxiety ..
its something i worry about .. driving home and imagining that my house has burned down .. i have to consciously put that thought out of my mind .
like careful what you 'wish' for ..
this was a home .. a sanctuary ... i cant imagine what the people who lived there were feeling .. utterly devastating .. hope they were ok .. :)
