The Fire Brigade were out in force. Minutes earlier, another engine had come down this way on priorities. This one cruised sedately down the street, then came back travelling just as sedately back. I almost expected someone to lean out of the cab and shout "where's the fire?"

The neighbourhoods of Jardin Del Mar and El Limonar were awoken in the early hours of Thursday morning, to the sound of explosions and glass smashing under the heat of a fire at the Centrocan pet superstore.
It is not yet known what caused the fire to break out which has completely gutted the building, leaving nothing more than a burnt out shell. It is hoped that the animals that are housed on the premises may have survived as the flames were concentrated on the upper floor of the building.
The Centrocan van was seen driving away from the property to a place of safety, which has given more hope that the animals may have been rescued. One witness said "I can't imagine what it will be like for someone who has left there pet overnight with the vet, only to return tomorrow to find the worst"
Smoke could be seen from miles around as the Bomberos tried to extinguish the flames. Explosions and gaseous flames hindered the progress, resulting in over an hour of fire fighting to get the flames under control. Firefighters were seen to be exhausted by their attempts, whilst both the Local Police and the Guardia Civil worked closely together to keep the gathering crowds at a safe distance.

Fire Fit, a competition for Firefighters from across the country took place in Toronto at the weekend. These guys were doing an endurance course that consisted of running up a tower, hauling up a hose, running down, hammering a heavy weight, a run, pick up a fully charged hose, run back, hit a target with the water, then grab a 175lb 'body' and drag it the full length of the course to finish. All while wearing full safety and breathing gear!
Hub made the best fire pit ever.
I love it - can't wait to use it again.
Tonight we roasted hotdogs over a lovely fire. I roasted some veggie dogs. They were alright but I still prefer beef.
