Post by: Snoopy on January 15, 2012, 04:29:16 PM
The chippy across the road and two doors down from us is on fire!  eeek:

4 x Police cars, 1 x Ambulance, 2 x Fire appliances

The Boys are in a high state of excitement.

The Fire Appliances here have Scuse Me! Scuse Me! Scuse Me!
Ambulances have Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo
The Heddlu have a wide range depending on speed and traffic conditions but they do seem to favour the sort of noise used by Maigret

As for the WPC's ~ there are two of them + half a dozen males. None are in High-Vis and looking at their faces I am NOT going to go out and tell them.

I was always given to understand that you should never use water on a chip pan fire! And, at the end of the day, this is just a giant chip pan fire!    noooo:

It is also an old building (used to be the Undertakers and how's that for a "change of use" application) which has a lot of wood and that was what was blazing.

There was a fire in Slough yesterday (not a big enough one unfortunately). Aparently there is a crack house next door to a chippie which burst into flames while they were 'brewing up' & also set the chippie on fire.
