ok so this is really kind of late seeing as it happened on Firday. I'm sure you all heard.. well maybe not, I'm not too big into the news cause it's always dissapointing, but anyway. On friday an apartment at Clairemont Village caught on fire.
This is were I live.
I heard all the cop's sirens and everything and blew it off and kept sleeping. I figured that they were going down Bay rd and it was just some shooting or something. Well no, it wasn't. I got a call from my friend who lives here too, just a few buildings down and she asked if I was watching the fire. I immediately freaked out. I couldn't figure out what fire she was talking about and she kept saying the one across from you guys. So I got out of bed put my coat on, and went to our second bedroom window where I there saw this fire and smoke, and a shit load of cars. Like when I say a shit load, it's like oo maybe like 6 or 8 cop cars, um, 4 fire trucks, all the news stations vans, people parking infront of our building on the side street and running in all the snow to see what's going on. It destroyed all the 4 top floor apartments, and the rest.. who knows. I think it said on the news like 6 or 8 people are w/out homes now. I fucking watched that shit out of my window. It was right across the car lot from us. It was the most fucked up thing ever. And the best part... they still don't know what caused it. I guess they are suppose to know today or something, so I need to check up on it. Cause I'm really freaked out by it, like I'm super shaken up and everything. That shit could have happened here, and I wouldn't have known just like the guy thats apartment it was. The cops had to bust down the door and go in there and get this 60 yr old man out who I guess is in critical condition w/ burns and everything. I just really want to know what caused it, because sometimes I think this place isn't safe at all, and for that to happen soo close to where we are, just makes me feel even more uncomfortable and on edge. Ugh. Now it's like I just want to break our lease and get out of here. Cause it could happen anywhere, and I know I would be soo upset if it happened here and someone else caused it. Or the simple fact of the maintenence people they hire really don't know what the hell they are doing and do everything half ass. And If it's something that was caused by the lack of upkeeping on Clairemonts fault I'm gonna want out of here even quicker. Half of our plugs are lose, and lose plugs you aren't suppose to use cause that means... well something bad, they just aren't good. And something that really pisses me off is we only have one, ONE fire ditector, and it's in our hall way between the 2 bedrooms and the bathroom... NO where near the kitchen where a fire could happen. So if it happens in the kitchen.. guess what, you're gonna have to run through the firey blaze to get to the door, or just think about if it starts in the kitchen has to go through the dinning room and then hit the fire ditector that's right where you're at.. you're fucked, you're jumping out the window. It just doesn't make sense to be to have one hard wired right there and no where else.
I'm done, I can't think about this anymore. I can't deal w/it. It's bad enough.
