Mystery in the Neighborhood

Last night Bruce had a barking frenzy at something across the street.  Since he doesn't bark at the deer, squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons, what could have caused the rancor???

Then this morning on our walk we discovered frozen water all over the roadway from about six houses up the road.  When we arrived at where the frozen water had originated we saw red sheets or blankets hanging out one of the front windows and it was obvious the water had run down their driveway.  It is a house that appears to have a two or more guys living there with their trucks.  Their trucks were parked in a weird way.  Then as we were walking back here comes the Peninsula Fire Trucks. 

They beeped in front of the house and then three or more fireman got out.  So what happened while I was sleeping and are they inspecting now?  There was no evidence of fire on the outside of the home.  Of course, there was not much evidence when there was a fire next door either.  Most of the damage had been done to the attic and interior.  With so few neighbors living here right now, I may never solve the mystery.

No snow yet!!!!
