Flashing Lights

One day, maybe 2 weeks ago, my neighbour's house caught on fire. There was thick burnt-plastic odour everywhere a window or door was opened. Japanese neighbours.

Firetruck after firetruck appeared in front of the house till there were three of them. Nothing serious, really. Neighbours all assembling outside for some curious conversation.

When a firetruck arrives at a scene where a fire is reported, a fee is incurred--in the thousands ranging from $1,000-5,000. I think it's just $1,000.
