We got to spend some time outside today meeting some neighbors.
It sure was a noisy experience, though.
The building fire alarms went off, all the fire doors closed, and I got to prove I can walk down two flights of stairs. Carrying our bug-out bags just in case this was real. And worrying about our car being parked in the underground garage.
Then a fire truck showed up. Only one, though, and they didn’t seem to be in a hurry so we thought it was probably a false alarm.
Not.
It seems someone near the center of our building had a small kitchen fire.
Made me glad we have fire extinguishers in case that ever happens to us.
And that I can still walk down the stairs.
Sorry about no photos. That was not what was on my mind until we got safely back inside.
TTYL,
Linda
Glad it was a false alarm and everyone is safe.
NOT the kind of excitement I want. Happened to me in a motel once and I was on the 15th floor. Never stayed that high up again. Glad it wasn’t a serious fire (if there is a fire that isn’t serious) and that you got to go back home again.
Those fire alarms sure can get folks moving fast. It also is an opportunity to meet those neighbors. However, they certainly aren’t fun and glad it wasn’t during the middle of the night or in the middle of snow storm.
