Fire!

I have really observant neighbors.  I called Ken's dad and asked him to come over early so he could eat with Ken before he went to work.  Everyone left by 6:30.  Our house is chilly, so just like last night I started a fire.  I carried wood in, got a fire started, and just got comfortable when the doorbell rang.  Rusty, the big red dog, went into welcome mode.  He was sounding a very loud welcome and I had a hard time holding him back in all his excitement!  Well, I had noticed some colored lights, so my interest is peeked and I am wondering what is going on.  At the door are a couple of firemen.  After pulling Rusty down and back, maneuvering the door open while holding on to him, I ask them if I can help them.  They asked me if I had a fire in my fireplace and I noticed a fireman coming around from the south of my house.  I answered yes and he said someone had called in a fire here.  Our city dollars at work.  Then I worried that since it was a false alarm we would be charged because they started to leave and they came back up to the house and asked my name.
