bad morning
So last night, walking home from work, a few kids approached me asking to use my phone so they could call 911, saying there was a fire. I asked them to show me, and they pointed to the stairwell by the school. It was pretty small, so I put it out with my foot, it only took a few min. Luckily I was wearing my old shoes, because it melted the bottoms of them. I noticed that what had been lit on fire was a piece of denim, like cut up pants. The rivit things they put on them were on the ground, and one of them was imbedded in my shoe. I thought about calling the police, but ended up deciding it would be a waste of their time.
This morning, walking to work, a block away from the school I saw emergency personell. A house was taped off because it had been burned through and through. The frame stood, but it was all char, and the windows were blown out. The house next to it was in better shape because the fire only got to about 1/3 of it, but it was very bad damage. I don't know if anybody was hurt, but the damage was extreme. Should I contact the police? Tell them about the little fire nearby, and the denim and the kids?
My other morning "adventure" involves finding a cat which looked like one pictured in a lost poster. I called the number after uncessfully trying to catch the cat, and they said they found their cat already, but thanks. This little guy was young, and his back legs were splayed outward. He wasn't bleeding, and got around fine, but was either born deformed or had an accident. He was friendly enough to come over to me, but didn't want me to pick him up. ::sighs:: I just feel badly I can't help. He doesn't have a collar, so I think I'll contact the woman I know who rescues cats, and she may be able to help him. He wasn't fixed, either.
Anyway, I emailed the fire department (didn't want to call from work, though I might try them later.)
Guess that's it.
