I swear down...

... that this just happened.

The college that I am at has a small rockery on an island in front of the main doors, the rockery is surrounded by heather. About half an house ago the fire alarm goes off and all the staff walk out and stand on the side of the road opposite the main doors. The fire engine comes up the road and pulls around the small island. As it does so the corner of the truck clips a rock on the island and sends some sparks flying, the sparks land on the heather and SET FIRE TO IT. Four burly fire men in full fire fighting gear leap out of the truck and proceed to execute expertly learned and well practiced techniques in fire extinguishing - They stamp on it.

For about 10 minutes.

It was very funny.
