That was close

Yesterday Sunday evening was not good.
The neighboring house inhabited by a nice old lady burned.
There were five fire brigades there.
It happened just at the other side of my fence (those trees at the lower left corner are actually mine).
But we were not evacuated. I was told to stay at home and feel safe.
They promised to contain the fire and they did. But it was so close, I was understandably terrified.
Good news is nobody was physically harmed.
I already talked to the old lady this morning. She is shaken but otherwise good and her children are taking care of her.

OH!!! I would be afraid, too! That must have been terrifying for the lady, too, poor thing.

It most certainly was! But she is a tough old lady, so she'll be fine.

I still do not know what caused it. A coal burner perhaps.

A very scary thing to experience - but at least no one was hurt. And you got a fascinating photograph from it. I love this photo.
