Fire

Our dishwasher caught on fire. Everyone is ok, but Emma and Sarah both got a bit of a fright. Luckily they were both in the house at the time and heard the smoke alarm going off. We shudder to think what would have happened if Sarah hadn't been around.

Sarah first tried to put it out with a damp cloth, then had to pour a vase full of water onto it. You're not supposed to do that with electrics but we think the main fuse had gone by that point.

Both Michael and Emma are a little nervous of the kitchen now, perhaps because the smell still lingers. Emma told me all about it as soon as I got home. It obviously had a big impression on her.
