Fire on the Evening News

[icarus]

I worked late tonight (tying up loose ends at work). On the bus ride home I mentioned it to the guy next to me, and he said, "You were in that building?"

Apparently we were on the evening news. Over and over and over again. He was astounded the building was livable.

Learned from our manager that seven apartments are toast.

Livable? wildernessguru has made our place quite livable. It's sparkling clean, smells a little smoky, but also smells of bacon and hot chocolate... mmmm. Now we're sacked out in front of the TV, commander fuzzhead sleeping in my laptop case.

Everyone is so impressed with wildernessguru's level-headedness and preparedness, and several people I've talked to are now developing their own emergency plans.

*kicks back* Ahhh... hot chocolate. I hope we're on the 11 o'clock news. It would be cool to see.

Um...this is sort of a weird question, but I used to be the house manager of my ancient, firetrap college house, and I'm still trying to get better emergency plans in place. What kind of stuff does WG have?

*hugs* A bit late, but I'm glad you are all okay, and that most/all the stuff survived

Same here. Seriously, the both of you rock.

I was reading LJ last night really fast and found your posts about the fire. Wow! Really glad everyone is okay.

Three cheers for WG! and for you too! for your fast thinking to get dressed, grab kitty, laptop and purse (in that order), and put your shoes on.

*hugs*
