Today my garage caught fire. Came home and smelled smoke, but it smelled like a camp fire and like someone was making s'mores. So I went into my house and had something to eat, played my drums from a bit and then I noticed that the smell was getting worse. I checked the stove and all that, and then I started hear little explosions in my garage. I looked outside and saw that there was smoke coming out of the door, so I called the the fire department. Had 5 fire trucks here. They tore down the garage door with a circular saw (it was pretty cool to watch, if I do say so.. shh..). Most of our bikes are beat up either from the fire/smoke or from the firemen getting them out of the way to put out the fire. They said it started from inside a bucket where my dad had all his car cleaning stuff. They said something must have soaked into a rag and mixed with some other chemicals and combusted. It turns out the s'mores I was smelling was my dad's A&W Root Beer burning away, haha. Good thing the fire was caught quick, because it didn't reach the 110 octane gas we had in the corner or my RC car racing fuel. But the insurance company took my bikes
