alarms and fire trucks oh my
as i was saying to some of my friends recently -> my jobs after sunrise involve much less stress
well not tonight! haha
setting: babysitting. two kiddies asleep. one girl one boy ages 11 and 13. 10:45pm. doing homework and talking on MSN.
long story short: the house alarm goes off telling me there is a fire somewhere in the house. the loudest most piercing sound you'll ever hear. can't turn it off. look everywhere and there's no fire. the alarm company calls - i don't have any of the security codes so they call the fire dept. can't reach the parents. THREE (3) fire trucks arrive at the house just as i get a call back from the mother with the number to deactivate the alarm. the firemen look all over the house, can't find anything, same as me. grandfather shows up cause the alarm company called their "in case of emergency" person and that's him.
everything was fine. there was no fire. no one knows why it went off.
kids didn't even wake up
it was kinda funny
never had the fire dept come to a house i was babysitting at before!
k. sleep time.
