Number 14. Soon to be demolished.

My street.

So was sitting in a friend’s flat last night when we could all smell smoke. We looked out the window and saw loads of fire engines zooming past and turning into the street where I stay. I had that horrible moment of panic thinking “fuck, what if I left my straighteners on?!”. I phoned my boyfriend who was in our flat, oblivious. He looked out the window and was faced with about 50 firemen and the flat two doors down from us up in flames. I watched it all happen outside my friend’s flat, seeing 15 people being cherry picked out a flat and being hoisted down ladders was pretty unreal. The fire was spreading along the roof so rapidly that for a while we honesty thought our flat was fucked. Thankfully the fire finally got put out around half 6 this morning and we found out no one was too seriously injured. A wee dog called Molly was found after being in the burning building for 6 hours, and the wee champ survived and is getting treated for ulcers on her eyes and smoke inhalation, poor soul. The owner had another dog who sadly didn’t make it out, which is just devastating :(
