be careful what you store in your shed.

Not sure of the cause but a Neighbour had a problem last saturday.
I was sitting in the conservatory and could hear loud banging sounds, when I looked out there was grey smoke rising.

Seems the large Shed/ summer house that backed onto my allotment was on fire it moved on rapidly.



About at this point we had a firework display, rockets and all sorts going up wards thank god.

It was about at this point a gas container went up, I ducked as I was about 30ft away at the time.

After only 30 mins it was pretty much burnt out.

 

oh dear.. hope no-one was hurt or it wasn't malicious

 

My main worry was for the fence but I think it was saved by the wind direction.

A plastic shed in the garden next door was badly melted but it didn't catch fire itself.

 

Nowt to do with me

 

so ... you raced to call the fire brigade get your camera

... still trying to get through on 999?

Well, if the fire brigade couldn't get there within 30 minutes ...



... I wouldn't bother calling them out!

 

The last time i had the fire brigade out at the last house they wouldn't go up on the roof to put out a chimney fire, they're ladders weren't long enough, so me being me but out our own chimney fire Jiffy also had a good chimney fire here and put that one out myself The worst thing with using the fire brigade is that they flood the place,

 

I kind of thought that the people living nearer would have phone the fire brigade, there are a whole row of houses over that way as yopu can see in pic 1.

The fire brigade had to come from about a mile away at the most, it was quite some time after they arrived that I actually saw any water being put on the fire, I guess Health and safety means they have to do a risk assessment before even getting out a hose these days?
I just think they thought it was a shed fire so let it go, no loss of life etc.
And there could have been more gas cylinders inside.

So I did the usual thing that most people do these days, took a few snaps
