Fire bad, tree pretty
Cliche but appropriate.
Last night after we fell asleep around 1am, Xander and I were awakened by the fire alarm at 3 am, so we and his roommates went outside, thinking it was a false alarm. After a couple of minutes and having smelled smoke on our way out, we saw thick black smoke coming from the building. An apartment one floor down and in the opposite corner was actually on fire. The fire department came and put the fire out and after a couple of hours we were allowed back in the building. There was no damage to Xander's apartment, though the air was a little smokey. We didn't get to sleep again until around 6:30, inspectors came around 10:30 to check for smoke damage. We are all ok, if shaken up a bit. Needless to say though, I am tired. The damage to the building is very surreal, but I am glad we are all safe.
