Fire

Our neighbor across the street's house burned down on Saturday! It was so scary. Dad was driving me, Caroline and Martha home from a party at about 10:30ish and we were just going over the hill closest to our house and where our neighbor's house was/is when it got all smoky. Caroline and Dad thought it was a truck making the gravel go all dusty. I was afraid it was a anhydrous amonia leak because our neighbor is a farmer. But when we got through it we saw our neighbor's kids Kaylie, Jasper and their friend Seth standing by the side of the road. Dad rolled down his window and Kaylie said "Our house is on fire!" So Dad called 911 and waited at their house while Caroline drove the rest of us home.
Kaylie called her parents Marty and Denisewho were gone partying while the fire went on and then told us what happened. She said that Abby was at a friend's house, so everyone was out okay. And then she told us that she had woken up to Jasper and Seth shouting "The house is on fire!" From outside her window. She looked into Abby's room and saw that is was filled with smoke and fire, so she jumped out the window and they had just gotten to the road when Dad came through the smoke.
When the firemen came they said it was a total loss but they tried to put it out anyway.
Denise got there and she was absoulutally HOWLING. It was the scariest thing I have ever heard. But she pulled herself together for the kids and then Mullet Woman came over and butted in and took them to her house and Denise followed and said she would go down to the firemen later.
Marty came up, like, a minute later and asked where Denise was so we sent him to Mullet Woman's house. And the house continued burning till 6am the next morning. :( Very sad. Very sad.
