Fire

Beside my house is an apartment complex with approximately 20 apartments. Last night around 11:30 PM I heard some screaming which is not all that unusual (usually a domestic of some type)....

As it turned out, one of the apartments had a kitchen fire ! A resident was cooking french fries and walked away from the stove. His daughter 17 and granddaughter 7 months were upstairs at the time.

Fortunately everyone was able to get out of the apartment. The local news is reporting $10-$15,000 in damages. The important thing is no one was injured. I can't imagine putting oil on the stove and walking away from it. I understand that accidents happen, but this could've been a real tragedy. Fortunately it is only property damage this time.
