Time for more strength training. We have a big ladder locked in our shed, but I can't lift it yet. Of course, the odds are that the fire will be coming from the neighbors in that direction. Good thing we keep another ladder on the other side of the house - and that one I can lift.
ETA: Sounds like the fire was during the daytime when neighbors weren't home - I'm glad we have a few neighbors home around us. Thankfully we're on good enough terms that, excepting the one home that is most likely to start the fire, they'd come to help. Yet another reason to know your neighbors.
