so on friday… mid conference call. I hear our "lovely" neighbor downstairs… mind you its in the middle of the afternoon screaming… and I open up my front door to a pitch black wall of smoke… I grabbed my laptop and bolted down the stairs… Ran into said neighbor on the landing (I live on the 3rd floor) he was wearing boxers and holding his two kids…a four year old and his 8 month old… I grabbed the baby from him and went out the front… luckily the fire dept was there in about 3 minutes and our appartment didnt burn… however we have MASSIVE smoke damage… Everything we can’t wipe down is going to have to go… most of our clothes seem to be ok after washing… and my work gear (CAMERA!!!) seem to be ok so far.
D was at work at the time and we both are in a bit of shock… we’re staying with friends while the dust settles and we decide what to do. Apparently the fire started… as a result of our genious neighbor sleeping… His 4 year old was playing with a lit CANDLE on their bed…
Lesson #1: renters insurance? must have… wishing we had it :-p now we have it… a day late :-p
Lesson #2: Find some way to ensure that your RETARDED neighbors replace batteries on their $ &*#!^& SMOKE detectors…
De and I are bigger than this… and something good will come from it
thanks for all the support and well wishes.

My thoughts are with you
btw that pic is truly amazing! don’t get me wrong but you did the right thing in capturing the damage in such a cool pic!
i know i always said i loved the smell of campfire smoke.. but ummm….
OMG! Glad to hear you are safe and everyone is okay. I suggest a poster in the hallway or by the mailboxes that reminds everyone that October is FIRE PREVENTION MONTH and when batteries should be changed in smoke detectors. Will keep your family in my prayers.
Dude?! That blows! Didn’t you guys just move in? Welcome to the neighborhood huh?!
sorry to hear about the fire. glad you are okay. yes, you’re bigger than this.
