Well sh*t...
There was 3 fires yesterdays in my hometown, three! At the same time.
I was waliking to work when I saw the firetrucks heading in the direction of the schools. Then when I was arriving at work, I saw some more going over the other of the river that runs in the middle if the city (AKA far from the schools). I thought: "wow, those guys really know where to go, aren't they? Then, during work, some costumers told me an apartments building near where I live had burn down, like completly. That's completely on the opposite of the two others directions I saw the firefighters go... so the girl was confused.
Close the shop at 11pm, father comes to get me and tell me. Around 4pm, there was 3 fires. One in the woods near the schools/were the Sisters lives, one at a pizzeria on the other side of the river and one at the apartments building near where I live. Three spots far away from each others. At 11 pm, the firefighters were still working on the apartments, still watering the building. There's nothing left. 18 to 30 families on the streets. The ones who d wasn't gone in vacations nor didn't have any friends or families to squat, they were sleeping in the theater in front of my parent's flat.
And then, this evening, I received a message text from a friend asking if I knew of any flats available to rent. His grandmother was living in that building that burned.
I couldn't imagine what it's like to lose everything in a fire. My mom and I are such... argh what's the word? We keep a lot of things, souvenirs, and other, but mostly things from families, from the great-grandparents etc. I've got a big big BIG fear of fire.
:/ Not a good day yesterday for Amossois.
