911 Do you have an emergency
So I am sitting in an employee meeting tonight and I smell something that is burning. My friend sitting next to me smelled it a little too. So a few of the girls get up to check and see if something is burning. They found nothing. For the most part they blow it off as my senses being all wacked out becasue of being pregnant. So we carry on talking about scrapbook store stuff. After the meeting we make sure again that there isn't anything burning and we head out the door. I am about to get in the truck and I see that there are flames coming out of the dumpster so I yell at the others that there is a fire and I start to go back inside to call 911 then I realize duh, I have a cell phone. So I make the call. We all stand around watching making sure that it doesn't catch the building on fire (it is only about 5 feet from the building and it is an old building) Flames are shooting high out of the dumpster and stuff is crackling like crazy. The Fire Department arrives in short time and they pull our their hoses to put it out. So being the true scrappers that we are I pull out the camera and get some shots (not very good ones) of our fire fighters. We will definitely being putting this page up in the store. We pretty much determined that someone started it to keep warm becasue it is suppose to get down to the low 20's tonight and we are always find people sleeping back there. So the store is fine and I made my first 911 call.
That's me on the right hand side

Good gracious! That's insane! I'm glad that it didn't reach the building.
My goodness! That's craziness. Thank the Lord everyone was okay and all that good stuff! Those firefighters are very reflective.
And yes, Zachary, I DID remember to change into my own name this time!
Wow, that's wild. Glad there wasn't another scrapbook store fire!
I just stopped by to tell you I hope y'all have a wonderful trip!!
I like fire!!!!
That is indeed crazy. I'm just glad all the excitement didn't throw you into an early labor... Emily's room isn't ready for her yet!
Those are smart firefighters. They don't have to carry flashlights because their outfits have all those glowing strips on them. Not a good way to sneak up on people, though.
You know, maybe somebody just had an extra fire and had to throw it away. Isn't that what the bins are for?
Sweet, Your like Spiderman, but instead of spideysense it is your pregnantsense. Did everything turn white and go into slow-mo? way to detect that fire Brenda!
