My neighbours house is on FIRE!!!

At 10:00 o'clock I could see smoke and wondered about it but thought it must just be his fire place.  By 10:15 I heard sirens and realized his bedroom and rec room was in a full blaze which is at the far right, downstairs and upstairs (it was out in the pictures.)  Then it looked like it was out...all of a sudden the whole roof lit.  Roof tiles were exploding in the air.  Russell was sleeping on his couch when his dog woke him, he said he was choking the smoke was so thick.  He got out with the clothes on his back.  His garage was undamaged but the rest of the house is gutted.  They fought the fire till after 11:00 this morning in -30C weather!   The firefighters worked hard some of them were still here at 1:00 this afternoon!
