Fire

Yesterday we had a chimney fire in the kitchen stove.


It actually started at the back behind the wall.


The fire department was called in to put the fire out.  Our courtyard was full of trucks and flashing lights.  I almost felt guilty that the house itself was not on fire.  But I caught the fire before it could accelerate  We had spent the afternoon in the barn so had stuffed the stove with wood to keep the fire burning and the house warm.  When we came back in several hours later we discovered the fire.  I knew it was bad when I could actually see .the fire at the base of the pipe.  As it turns out when the firefighters went in they tested the fire at 600 degees.  It wouldn't have been long for that fire to burst through the pipe and onto the floor.So it was very good we came back to the house when we did.  And very blessed that it did not occur overnight while we were sleeping.
