Last summer a house in my neighborhood nearly burned down. It was a rare quiet Friday night at my house; my wife and I were roused from enjoying a bottle of wine and the sound of chirping crickets out on the patio. If you've never seen a house burn, or any similar conflagration, believe me, it's a sight you won't soon forget.
