Huh! I thought I smelled something burning! Even went to check the house but I hear a firetruck very close by 🔥

Oh FUCK! the house here on the corner is burning :sad_cat: they’re cutting down the door… oh shit

3 fire trucks now.. it doesn’t seem good.

Damn.. if I just checked outside earlier..

There’s still light on the first floor behind a door with much smoke. Fire men are now trying to get into the house

Okay we saw fire people walking on the first floor! I think everyone is out ♥️👌🏻 still a loooot smoke from the house..

I think everyone is fine! :blobcathighfive: No ambulance so that's a good sign!

It does seem the house is very much damaged and still smoking.. Well, at least that can all be replaced

@stux For real? Or are your servers just overheating?

@stux The building next door to us burned down in April. We took videos of the billowing smoke and flames 🔥 and after 30 minutes we evacuated— in hindsight we should have packed better but we got out safely. Tragically 2 died. The city of Vancouver tore the building down and now there’s an empty lot…

@stux Just now reading this thread, glad no one is hurt!

@stux Here in LA that usually means that there's a wildfire. Strange world.

@stux Hope everything is okay!

@stux yeeks, hope no one gets injured, and it's a small fire in a fire pit and not a home.

@stux seeing the update, I really hope the house was unoccupied.

Things like this are a wakeup call to check on your neighbors and make sure they have working smoke detectors and fresh fire extinguishers. 😮‍💨

@stux I really hope it doesn't smell like BBQ, that's always bad sign

@stux Oh no! I hope everyone gets out okay.

@stux Here's hoping everyone's OK.

@stux Doesn't sound good. Here's hoping noone is inside 🙏

@stux how far away is your place from the corner? I hope no one is hurt and that the fire doesn’t spread. BE SAFE!

@lorenzo No it seems all got out or no one was home :ablobwink:

@stux Oh no! I hope your neighbors are safe. Take care, Stux!

@stux
Yikes, I hope everyone inside gets out safely, and the fire's extinguished quickly.

@stux keep an eye out for frightened pets and roof embers.

@stux oh no!!! Prepare to evacuate with all your important stuff!

@stux Oh, dear!

I saw this post in my Home feed and just had to rush over to the whole thread to find out what's happening.

Glad you and yours (including the cats) are safe. I hope your neighbors are OK and the property damage isn't too great.

Stay safe!

@stux I hope no one got hurt and it’s good that people came out I hope it was everyone

@stux I hope everyone made it out okay

@stux Safety's the most important! Hope everything can get replace/repaired as soon as possible.

@stux When I was about 4, the handyman who worked for my Mom was cleaning car parts in gasoline in an upturned metal garbage can lid… while smoking.

And ash dropped and the gasoline erupted in his face and hands. His face wasn’t as damaged as it might have been but his hands were terribly burned.

In those days we didn’t know anything about shock or dealing with emergencies.

60 years later it is still fresh in my mind.

@stux It’s a sad thing to happen during the Holiday liday season, but at least everyone is fine and (hopefully) unhurt….

@stux property is property, if everyone's safe is the main thing

@stux I'm glad everyone is ok so sorry about your house🙏🤗💜

@stux House across the street from me burned down a few years ago. The old guy fell asleep smoking, I think.

He was old and doing poorly. He died soon afterward, but of old age, not the fire.

@stux oh that's such a relief, glad to hear it!
