Explosions in Blackfen

Two loud explosions and a plume of black smoke that seems about half a mile from the presbytery to the south a few minutes ago. Say a prayer that nobody is hurt. Lots of sirens starting to converge.

UPDATE
Turns out it was an over-enthusiastic family bonfire involving the disposal of some dodgy fireworks. Neighbours were not terribly amused. Nobody was hurt, thank God.

Father,
Is everything okay?
Our prayers are with you all.

Fr Tim Finigan said...

Yes, all OK. Many thanks.

I see my original guestimate of a gas-powered barbecue being augmented with lighter fuel by a forgetful barbeque-ee wasn't too far off the mark then!!

My guess would be that some quantity of petrol may have been involved in the mix. Dread to think what the sausages tasted like...
