False Alarm

The reason we call the home we are currently living in the Road House is because it is located very near to Route 2 on the side opposite Emerson Hospital. To say we are a stone’s throw from the hospital would be a slight exaggeration, although I am confident I could hit their parking lot from our backyard. We have grown accustomed to the occasional ambulance siren and the very rare helicopter landing. Yesterday, however, while working at my computer, I heard siren after siren arriving at the hospital. I thought it might be some type of mass casualty event and walked outside to investigate. What I saw was the entire Concord Fire Department on scene and people evacuated from the building. Eventually, fire trucks from Lincoln also rolled up. As best I can tell, it was a false alarm but it made for quite an exciting show of fire fighting force.
