Good thing the Chappaqua Fire Chief Andy Metz has a sense of humor.
The New York Times reports that the fire department was summoned early Wednesday morning after reports of a gazebo fire in a Chappaqua NY suburb.
Thursday night, Lawrence Waterhouse III set a romantic atmosphere for his marriage proposal by surrounding his entire house with candles - in the trees and the path leading to the house. Unfortunately, with all the excitement (we assume she said yes) the couple forgot to put out one candle before leaving the following morning for the airport.
The fire department was not able to save the gazebo, but fortunately, nothing else was damaged.
In the spirit of things, after contacting Mr. Waterhouse at the airport, the fire chief told him there was no reason to turn around, and to continue with his sweetheart on their planned vacation.
Who said romance was dead? If you too want to make a romantic evening - please use more caution - or at least get some good fire insurance…
