Fire Safety

Well, as I was checking my e-mail just a few minutes ago, I was watching my little brother and sister out the window light a fire in our portable fire-pit outside. My little brother had the brilliant idea to pour gasoline on the fire to get it to start. As he poured gas onto the fire the fire lit and found its way up the stream of gasoline and got itself into the can. My little brother and little sister not knowing what to do decided to throw the can of gas into our pool right as I was running out screaming no (really, I was), getting ready to put dirt all over the can. Too late, us kids soon found ourselves with a giant fire inside our pool (luckily our pool needs remodeling so it is pretty much drained except for the rain that has made its way into it during the last few rain falls. Therefore, kids and people, I would like you all to know that dirt is what puts out gasoline, never put a can of gasoline into a large body of water. That's all for today folks! (P.S. No damage has come to anyone, and our pool is fine because we are going to re-do it anyways.)
