Fire! Fire! Fire!

         It was a normal day just like any other, well at least that's what I thought. On November 25th at 8:58 pm, I was in my room catching up on some reading when I smelled something weird, like if something was burning. At first I didn’t know where it was coming from so instinctively I got up and checked if it was coming from the kitchen. When I got there I saw everything was fine so I went back to my room. When I got there I noticed the smell got stronger so I looked outside my window and there it was… a fire behind the fence where the small creek is located. It was very smoky outside and there was a few firemen trying to put the fire out with apartment management alongside of them. In just a few minutes the fire was out. It wasn’t a big fire. When the fire was out I noticed how weirdly the smoke was rising from the ground. It was rising in squiggly lines along the fence with a space in between each one.

The smoke looked something like this. (field notes)
Then shortly after sparks started and the fire began again.  9:03 the fire was completely out. I wonder what could’ve started the fire or who? After the whole incident died down and the fire men left I turned on my TV and hoped to see something about the fire on the news at 11 since there was a reporter at the site when the firemen were putting out the fire. It was late of course so I decided to record the news and watch it the next day. Later when I went back to see the news I noticed it didn’t mention anything about the fire, so that led me to think it would say something about it today (Nov. 26th). Once again it didn’t mention anything about the fire. I thought this was odd so I decided to do some research. I didn’t manage to find any information about the fire on the internet so I left it at that. I guess the fire wasn’t that big of a deal for it to be mentioned on the news or have an article written about it and posted on the internet. I guess it’s just another mystery unsolved.

Here's a picture of a fire man putting the fire out.
