Tonight we heard sirens coming down our street and noticed that the flashing lights didn’t pass us, but stopped near our house. Heather and I went to look out the window and to our surprise saw flames leaping into the sky just two houses down from us. At first we thought a house had caught on fire, but when we went outside to inspect further we saw that it was a van that was parked on the street. The van had huge flames coming out of the side windows. The firemen had there hoses out and was trying to subdue the fire by spraying the inside of the van. For a couple seconds, I was worried that the van might explode. Luckily it didn’t and they were able to get the fire out.
