Having a lovely sleep which became full of dreams of sirens, woke up to actually hear them - which in my neighbourhood is not unusual - and then heard them stop out front. Got up to check it out walking out the front wrapped in a sheet (too hot for jamies last night) to find fire brigade here and house two doors up up in flames. Luckily no one living there at the time but still very freaky. Houses make a lot of noises as they burn. After a few minutes saw the possum making an emergency dash home. It came from the direction of the burning house so it had better have a good alibi. Anyway now an hour later. Fire well out but street full of appliances, police and what looks like a huge fire brigade skip out the front. Sounds like some sort of generator is running so getting back to sleep in a hurry is not an option.
