Fire????


Last night, just as Forrest was dozing in his chair, Michael woke him with the words, Dad, the fire alarm at the High School is going off. Well, I am sure he said it with a bit more enthusiasim, but he got the desired effect. Forrest and Michael were out the door before the city fire alarm went off. After dropping Michael at the fire station so he could get his gear, Forrest was off to the High School. I, of course, was sound asleep upstairs until Bekka called MOM, the High School is on fire, As you can imagine, that brought me straight out of bed. An hour and a half later Forrest returned. There was no fire, but there was plenty of water. It seems that 4 guys playing basketball in the new gym (which really is not new anymore) hit one of the sprinklers on the ceiling. Of course the sprinkler broke, setting off the fire alarm. By the time they got the water shut off there was about 2-3 inches of water covering the gym floor. That is alot of Water! So out came the brooms and squiggies to get as much of the water up. GEE, will the insurance pay for water damage caused by a stray basketball?? That sure gives new meaning to the words "Lucky Shot!"
