Chaos at Ted’s Café

It was an ordinary Saturday in L’ego Town. The kids were playing on the playground the street was bustling and there was a general buzz in the air about the new data centre which was opening soon. Fireman Barney had been walking Jess the fire stations Dalmatian, when he spotted his fiancé ‘EZ’ inside Ted’s Cafe. He decided to stop off for a cuppa, leaving the dog tied beside a water bowl. Ted served him his tea and then went outside to top up the water bowl and take a couple of dog biscuits for Jess. Some of the kids came over to pet Jess who got very excited and managed to pull the lead out of the rail. After everyone had done a few laps of the park trying to catch her, she suddenly darted into the open cafe door and headed straight for Barney. Jumping up at him, she knocked the candle over on the table and the cloth burst into flames. Barneys training kicked in straight away evacuating the other customers before he grabbed the fire extinguisher from behind the counter and put the fire out. Afterwards, Ted and Barney shook hands, “That was a close call. Barney, you saved Ted's business from going up in flames." "...and I’m very grateful.” “You’re welcome Ted, it was nothing really. Just what I am trained to do.” But as they all stood smiling for the picture, I could not help but wonder... why does Ted need candles?
