STEVE: Did you smell something out here?

SUE: Yes, I was in the kitchen. I thought I could smell smoke.

STEVE: Me too. Where is it coming from?

SUE: I can't see anything. Wait! What's that over there?

STEVE: It's smoke. Whose house is that?

SUE: That's the Riley's house. They're on vacation.

STEVE: It doesn't really look like it's coming from their house.

It's coming from the back. Is it a barbecue?

SUE: No way. They have a tool shed back there.

It's a fire. I'm going in to call the fire department.

STEVE: Wait. I have my cell phone. I'll dial 911.

Yes, please connect me to the fire department.

VOICEOVER: Fire department. Can I help you?

STEVE: Yes, I want to report a fire.

VOICEOVER: Where are you, sir?

STEVE: I'm at 904 Lincoln Drive. I think there's a fire in one of my neighbor's houses.

VOICEOVER: 904 Lincoln Drive?

STEVE: Yes.

VOICEOVER: Can you see any flames?

STEVE: No, I can't see flames yet.

But there is smoke pouring out of the back of the house.

VOICEOVER: Alright. We'll get someone there right away.

STEVE: There's someone coming.

SUE: It took them four minutes to get here. That was pretty fast.

STEVE: Yes, it's fast. But four minutes is enough to do fifty thousand dollars damage.

SUE: I guess the fire wasn't in the tool shed after all.

It looks like the back of the house was burning.

STEVE: I wonder if anyone can call the Rileys about this. Do you know them well?

SUE: Not really.

STEVE: Do you know where they're vacationing?

SUE: I think they went to Mexico, but I'm not sure.

It's a bad thing to return home to.

They'll come home from their trip, and they'll see half their house burned.

STEVE: Yes, but at least this way no one gets hurt.

It's better to have a fire in your house when you're not home. Don't you think?

SUE: Yes, I suppose. It's a dangerous thing if a fire starts when people are sleeping.
