We met our pastor's family at the church at noon today and my family and theirs were going to drive to Oklahoma City to a special church service. We all load up in the van and get not even a fourth of a block down the road when smoke starts POURING from the vents into the van. It was on FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all *jump* out of the van and the men raise the hood. FLAMES!!!! I'm thinking "it's gonna blow!" so I call 911.
Well, by the time the 3 police cars, ambulance, 2 fire trucks and seemingly million other emergency people get there, pastor had already found the fire extinguisher from the church and put the fire out.
So we then had the emergency people out blocking the very busy road in front of our church and there was no fire and I felt like a goober. Oh well. If she would have blowed, I would have been glad that I called 911.
P.S. We don't know what exactly started the fire except that we saw a squirrel running away from the van and we are blaming it on him.
(please don't be offended at this picture...I found it online and thought it fit my post well....plus, it's hillarious)
Lots of plastic stuff on the van melted and it smells terrible (and we didn't smell so great ourselves).
So, what happened in your neck of the woods today?
