Fire.

Hey, I just watched a story on TV about a family whose house caught fire when they were all sleeping, and they only survived because their one year old dog woke them from their sleep, going from bedroom to bedroom, and then led them all from the flaming house. It totally went up in flames about five minutes after they al got out. Sad that their house disinergrated, but great that they lived.

Thank goodness for dogs! (grin)

i heard a story about that beffor

O.K... now i think that i am the last to post in all the topics of the forum

Yes, I love dogs. I'm seriously thinking of getting myself a basset hound. They're cute, and don't need a whole lot of attention. At least, Rugby didn't (may he rest in peace). He was the best dog ever!
Ideal dog for me, cuz I'm always so busy!

i want norberd heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheeeeeee e

I live in the capital city of Aus., Canberra (no... not Sydney OR Melbourne) and we had a fire go through Jan 18 2003 that killed two people, burnt out 465 houses and all our forrests. The pine forrest will never grow back but the gums love fire. They come back all lush and green really quickly. Animals don't fair to well though. They were fighting it for weeks before it hit and days afterwards. The cinders and ash falling and the helicoppters going overhead night and day was incredible, like we were in a war zone.

Some people still haven't rebuilt so there's still these huge empty rivers of land running through some suburbs.

Weird though, we used to be called the 'Bush Capital' and people lived here because of all the bush and open spaces, now they can't cut down all the trees fast enough. Guess fire can freak people out. They are pretty scary; nature flexing its' muscle which is terrifying 'cause nature really doesn't care who you are annd sympathy is not in its nature.

im originally from cali and i remember a few yrs ago there was a fire up in the hills. i think it was in the los angeles forest. i cant remember but it was soo hot that day and it was summer time so it was even hotter. but anyways, it was raining ash everywhere and the fire department had to go door to door and tell every1 what to do in case a spark or something landed on our house. good thing it didn't.
