Well here I was, talking on the phone with my friend in Germany when I hear a bell. The fire alarm goes off in the neighboring building all the time, but somehow - this sounded closer. I tell my friend wait a minute and take a look outside. I smell melting plastic and see smoke bellowing out of the 2nd floor of our building...see our building manager running up the stairs. I go back in and wake up Roger. We grab our most important things - Raincoat, keys, my purse, my camera and my camera bag...funny what you take, isn't it?
I start leaving the property, Roger bringing up the rear, and hear an all clear so I go upstairs for a look. The smell is strong, the smoke is black, the faces I see are scared. The fire truck pulls up...
Seems the young couple was making their dinner and somehow the grease caught fire and they couldn't contain it. They lost electricy and didn't know what to do. Luckily the alarm went off.
I'm getting too old for all this excitement...flooding, sewage, fire.....
