Story of the night.

Hey guys. I had a pretty crazy night tonight. It started with my dad cutting the metal off of a trailer. One of the bolts reached an extreme heat and melted into the wood and eventually caught fire. After a few seconds that small flame sent the entire trailer into flames. After some quick action we had pounds of dirt being dumped onto the fire and hoses spraying nearby trees. However, about halfway through the blaze I noticed my girlfriend stumbling off. I screamed to her and received no answer. After quickly rushing to her side I noticed that she was short of air and in tears. She was having an extreme asthma attack. After walking her to the door and telling her to calm her breathing and just take it slow I rushed to get any bag I could. All the bags I had grabbed were either plastic or I had ripped them up to much for use in my fear. After many falls and stumbles we had a fire fighter come in and help calm her breathing. After a few minutes her rate of breath returned to normal. Aside from a sore throat and raspy voice she is fine. It was quite the scare for a couple of minutes. As for the fire, The fire department was called by many of the neighborhood folks and they were here in a matter of minutes. The fire was doused in a few minutes and everything was returned to normal. Everyone is fine, aside from some throat pain from smoke and panic. A couple of us have minor cuts and bruises but nothing serious. So that is the story of the night. I hope you enjoyed it.
