House Fire
Our neighbors house caught on fire this afternoon. Scary to have that happen so close to home. It started from the guys car and spread to his house and then through the connecting duplex. Luckily everyone got out safely, including their pets. It spread so fast. I think it was one of the biggest black clouds of smoke I've seen coming out of a house. The duplex on the other side, which isn't attached had it's siding completely melted off. If it had just been a little bit longer it would have spread to our house. I guess who ever called it in said it was a car fire, so only one fire truck was on it's way. When they got close and saw the cloud of smoke they knew it was bigger than a car fire and they called in for another truck to come out. That's whats scary about living in duplexes, or apartments for that matter. Someone else might leave their stove on, have a faulty wire, or who knows and it can spread through your home before you know it. You don't have total control over what other people do.
