Have to share,
I was home last friday around 12:30pm, when my next door neighbour yells for me to call 000 as there is smoke coming out of our other neighbours front bedroom window. I rang 000 got the firies on the way and ran out to see what was going on. Sure enough the house was billowing smoke and my neighbour yelled "do you have a fire extingusher". Now picture this, I know we do and frantically looked around the garage for it but of course couldnt find it. In the mean time I grabbed the cordless phone and rang hubby to find out what the hell he had done with the fire extinguisher the bloody neighbours house was going up for Gods sake
His reply "why dont you use the fire hose we have attached to the side of the house" 
I had run passed it about five times and hadnt noticed it, mind you it is BRIGHT RED!!! so of course very hard to see in broad daylight... Anyhoo grabbed the hose, threw it across the fence to the neighbour, ran around and reefed out the fly screen so we could get a better shot at the fire (hint: these get very hot ouch!!!) And by the time the two fire units turned up the fire was out. For some reason the firies seemed pissed with us. I think we spoiled their fun cos they jumped out of the trucks, connected up their hoses, donned their breathing apparatus and charged full steam ahead, all while we were trying to tell them we had put it out...and then had to pack it all away again heeheehee!!!
Oh and by the way the fire extingusher was where it always is, but try to find it in a panic sheesh!!
