Shrimp on the Grill

Well, guess what happened at my house yeasterday. That's right, our grill started on fire.

This is how it happened: Smoke strted coming out of the grill very badly, my mom came to see what happened, and she couldn't put it out. We were afraid that it would spread to the propane tank, so she grabbed the house phone and we came to the front yard. Before that, we had sent my sister to get our neighboor (who's a cop) but he wasn't home.

So now the grills on fire in the back and were dialing 9-1-1 in the front. The house phone stops working. I hade to run inside and get my mom and my cell phones. Then I ran upstairs to get the important info my Dad keeps upstairs. Fastes I've ever run.

All in all, the fire wasn't that bad. It had burnt itself out by the time the firemen got here, but there was a lot of smoke in the house. We couldn't go in for another hour because they had to let the house air-out.

Here's a tip for all you grillers: Do't grill besdide the house. Generaly not a good idea. And it's not coming from me, the fire=chief said it too.
