Homeowners Mistake Smell of House Fire for BBQ

A young couple lay sunbathing in their back yard, enjoying the beautiful summer day. The birds chirping, the sun shining, the neighbors barbecuing; all the ingredients for a most enjoyable and relaxing afternoon. Until the couple realizes the smell of the neighbor's BBQ is actually their house on fire.

The couple attempted to attack the fire with a garden hose, while neighbors phoned police. Firefighters arrived shortly after, and extinguished the blaze. The fire, believed to have started from a fault in the boiler, destroyed the kitchen, and caused severe smoke damage to the rest of the house. Luckily, no one was injured. Officials say, "They stayed outside the house and did a good of attempting to extinguish the flames. Without their quick actions, the fire could have been worse."
