FIRE!!!!!

So, pictures will come soon but I didn't have my camera on me. Today the music department was incharge of making breakfast for the faculty. We decided to make french toast. We had alot left over so we decided to make the rest for second hour for making such an amazing door decoration. I had an extension cord plugged into the wall, a surge protector plugged into the extension cord and two skillets plugged into the surge protector. I was cookin and all of the sudden I heard and saw alot of sparks on the other side of the table, then I saw a fire probably about a foot high. I was a little worried because our big basses were right next to it. Luckily the one in the cover was the closest it would have caught on fire in two seconds with all that laquer. By the way did I say I was in the music room? Anyway, I called for Lynda who was teaching class and she got one of her students to run to the office. While that happened I mannaged to reach over and get the cord unplugged which calmed down the sparking down, which calmed the fire down enought that I was able to fan it out with the spatula or it just went out on it's own. The student that went to the office told them we had a fire in the music room and they laughed and said very funny. He then told them really there's a fire in the music room and they pulled the fire alarm and then dale came down. We had a fire drill because of me!!! Since it was the last day of the quarter alot of teachers were giving tests and our vice prinicpal alway has fire drills at the last of the month. We went outside and one of our teachers was about to rip into Dwight when I told her it was real and she started laughing histaricly, and started laughing even harder when she came and saw it for herself. The extension cord as far as we know got hot somewhere in the middle and melted the protective rubber and then started to spark resulting in a fire. The surge protector is fine, both ends of the extension cord are new becuase it was new just the middle is fried. So I started my first fire and it was at school and allready the students have tons of rumors going around that I blew something up and some of the kids that were in there when it happened have brought their friends in to see it. One of my students took a picture of it. I told Lynda we could make some real money off of this in the school. They can't replace the carpet it's part of history and the teachers have given me a theme song "ring of fire". I really have one going for me this year.
