(the one across the street from her) so we went outside and watched as just two ambulances came.& while fire engines came..it was awesome watching the flames come out of the window..then when they came it was so out of control inside that they couldnt get it out..so then it went up 2 the roof it ripped w/flames..but i still felt sorry for the people who lived there!..they were so mad when they got home and started cussing and saying happy birthday to me!caz poor thing it was his birthday.. ne wayz..the house that was on fire made a page in the news paper..so i put it on my webshots thing..also the story was online..so here it is..
Breon Warrick had planned to celebrate his 21st birthday Saturday night, but when he got home from a Wal-Mart shopping trip and found a fire raging inside his Roanoke County house, he realized he would have to put his party on hold.
"My friend was right here in this front room and his blanket was on fire," he said. "It was a candle beside his bed. He [dragged] his blanket through it."
Warrick woke his friend, who also lives at the house, and got him outside just in time, then alerted the neighbors who called 911.
Firefighters first got the call at 7:16 p.m. and arrived at the two-story brick house on the 6000 block of Fair Oaks Road near Hollins University to find flames and smoke coming from the house. The flames raged through the building and punched so many holes through the roof that before long the entire crest of the roof was ablaze with flames reaching 10 feet
high in the air and threatening nearby trees. Firefighters turned powerful hoses onto the structure as neighbors gathered across the street. Police also closed off Fair Oaks Road, a winding uphill street..
Randy Spence, a fire marshal with the Roanoke County Fire and Rescue Department, said Warrick's roommate was the only one inside the house when the fire started. No one was injured. Spence said he couldn't provide a damage estimate but added that the house would probably be a total loss.
"I pulled up and the house is on fire," said Brian Payne, 19, another resident of the house.
Including Payne and Warrick, seven people live in the five-bedroom house, Warrick said.
"I really just can't believe this, man," Warrick said as he watched the flames engulf his former home. "Everything I own is in there."
The roommate who was sleeping when the flames broke out declined to comment.
yeah..thats it..ok well l8ter i gotta finish my chores that i didnt start..=(
