A WOMAN put the safety of her neighbours over her own modesty when she saved an apartment building from going up in flames - topless.
Fitness instructor Tash Bennett was sunbaking by the pool of the Alatai Apartments in Darwin city on Thursday afternoon when a nearby palm tree caught on fire.
"I was just lying there when some ash fell on top of me," she said. "I wasn't really paying attention because I was listening to my iPod."
Ms Bennett raced to reception for help before rushing back to the pool to use the fire hose. It was only after battling the blaze for five minutes that she looked down and realised that she was still topless from the sunbaking.
"I was pretty red faced on the day, having to hold myself while running to reception," she said."I was sunbaking. I wasn't exactly prepared." "But you've got to put out the fire before you deal with that."

I thought it was weird saying “sunbaking”, then realized it is Australian and probably a colloquialism.
Kudos to her. I don’t blame her for the “sunbaking” and you can’t get dressed in time to deal with a crisis. I’m sure many VICTIMS have to run out stark naked from a fire.

“Hero” is better. No need to sex-ize so many words. Especially now, when baggage of centuries often means “heroine” is nothing more than the head female of a story - even if she’s a simpering idiot. “Hero” never has that neutral connotation. I’ll take “hero”.

If this had happened in Saudi Arabia the “morality police” would have pushed her back into the fire lest she cause men to sin by lusting for her!;-)

OK, but what is so interesting about a burning palm tree?

I know the feeling. I took my shirt off at an outside restaurant on a beach in Mexico once. I thought I had my bikini top on underneath....I was wrong.

I never thought I'd ever learn anything from a semi-nude woman. You've been hanging around with the wrong semi-nude women.
To: Sacajaweau
I’ve seen days like that as a teenager, people would rather forget, that were funnier pissants in a hurricane.
