Fire!
2 years, 10 months ago on Thursday, March 2nd, 2006, in the wee hoursSo I’m at work today and suddenly people from across the hall come in asking if they can watch “the fire across the street.” Well, not to be rude I said “ok” and got up to check out the scene.
Well, they were right! One of the bars across the street was indeed on fire! I grabbed our office camera and took a pic.
Thankfully the fire department was able to extinguish the blaze before it spread to any other buildings.
Interestingly enough, this was not the first time a fire has erupted across the street from me!
The picture above is from the deck of our condo in San Francisco. The reason I pointed out Jay’s house is because when the accident happened I called Jay to tell him about it. The conversation went something like this:
Mo - “Jay! There was a car wreck right across the street from me and there’s a big fire and a car is burning and a fence is on fire and a house might catch on fire!!”
Jay - “That’s crazy stuff Mo. I gotta get back to work.”
Mo - “Ok. Bye.”
(Jay hangs up phone)
(3 seconds pass)
(phone rings)
Mo - “Hello?”
Jay - “I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOU! IS MY HOUSE ON FIRE!??!?!?”
Mo - “Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that. It looks your house is going to be ok.”
Jay - “Thanks.”
