Neighbor just called on the phone: "Your house is on FIRE!"
So I ran outside, and my god.... There's an intense ball of flames coming from the flood lights just under the overhang! The smoke was just billowing out. There was a birds nest up there, and obviously the lights got turned on and set it ablaze.
So I make a sprint for the hose and the neighbor asks if she should call 911. I say "no, just wait!" I go to spray the water, but barely any comes out. There's a kink in the hose somewhere! Oh my, We're going to lose everything if I don't straighten it out. Finally the pressure increases and the fire is out. Now the whole area is black.
So if you see a birds nest on top of an exposed floodlight, don't turn it on.
