Sunday morning wake up call

Oct 09, 2005 10:29

I am still dreaming, and this sound comes stronger every time, bip, bip bip! I wake up still listening to it, I take a look at Jeff he is still asleep and quiet. I then realise that what I am hearing is the fire alarm, I quickly get up and open the room door, just to see a dense smoke in the TV room. Fire ! I thought; I ran nto the room, and open the window; then Jeff and Kate get into the room and we start panicking a bit. We hardly can see inside the room. There's  no fire, but the smoke is dense, white and smells like fire.



We thought about the landlord, who lives in the appartment downstairs, fuck! his house must be in fire, Jeff went loking for him. He came to the door and urged us to call 911, after hearing about the situation. A few minutes later we heard the sirens, and the house was full of Fireman. 4 trucks showed up and about 10 firemen were inside the house. While we were speaking with the firemen, I couldn't help to see this great photo of them, as they were aligned inside the house. Even the fire trucks were cool outside, but it wasn't the moment to take pictures.

Strange, but no one could found fire and after inspecting the house one of the neighbors said that a contractor bloked the chimeney this summer; that is why the smoke got inside our appartement when the landlord opened the heating system this morning. Luckily the house wasn't on fire. What a shock we had !

jeff, fire, kate, home
