Another housefire??

18 months ago, our neighbours' house burned down in the early morning hours,
after someone shot off fireworks the night before. They have since rebuilt
the entire house, and moved back in 13 months after the fire.
When I opened my front door yesterday, I was taken back to that horrific moment when I
first saw the fire, at 3 AM.

It was, however, the sunrise reflected in their garage door windows.
