Fire

[RoJoHen]

I think someone just tried to set my apartment on fire. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when I suddenly smelled smoke. There was nothing burning in my apartment, so I started looking around to figure out what was going on. My apartment got really smokey, so I went to the window and saw that the bushes next to the entrance were on fire! I quickly got a pitcher of water and ran down 3 floors to put the fire out.

Okay, crisis averted. The fire is gone. But I can't figure out if it was intentional (I have heard some pretty hardcore fights in this building, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone was in a killing mood) or if someone just accidentally threw a cigarette in the bushes. It's 3am on Monday morning, so I can't imagine too many people are out and about right now.

I'm really confused, and a little scared to go to bed now.

Are you living in a tinderbox part of the country?

Occam's razor and all that. Often the simplest explanation is the explanation. Therefore I suggest aliens did it.

Stay online and let us know what city/area you're in. If things get dicey, someone "local" can probably help out.

"Gum under your shoe" doesn't help much.

If things get dicey, I'll just call the cops.

You should report it, anyway, to the cops or building manager or something.

You caught me. I did it.








I'm joking. It was probably a freak occurance. Do you have any enemies?

Without question. And the fire department as well. There could still be embers that are still burning and could reignite the flames. Best to have the professionals you pay taxes for to have a look.

First: YIKES! -Glad you were up to catch it!

Then: At that hour it kinda sounds strange -to me- for something to catch fire 'just like that' -even if a cig-butt was involved -plus: who'd throw such a thing into the bushes if it's a dry season?

You'd probably not be able to fall asleep anyways -I'd be high on adrenaline if something like that happened to me!

Pfft, whatever. Nothing says help is coming like a flock of sci fi nerds.

Hope you managed to get some sleep.

Couldnt have been much of a fire if a pitcher of water put it out. Regardless, glad you're ok.
