So early Thursday morning around 1:45 am Xty and I were awoken by frantic banging on our front door gate. We finally heard enough banging to get up to the window and yell out there to see what the deal was and then as I awoke more you could hear walkie talkies and people saying fire, evacuate the building. Naturally we shit, and scrambled around and hid some stuff and then we were out of the house hoping our shit would still be there when we returned.
Once outside with all our neighbors it became clear that another neighbors car had caught fire in the alley and she had parked like 9 inches away from the garage door. Me and her down stairs neighbor have garage on either side of her and we were both lucky enough to have had our cars in the garage that night!
The firefighters were on top of it and the fire was out within 10 minutes and everyone had a smelly house and garage. It was kind of crazy to just be stuck outside of your house with no idea how bad the fire is or anything. After a few minutes they all just started leaving so we sort of assumed it was cool to go back in.
The alley was a mess and the smoldering remains of the car smelled like ass, mainly the rubber tire smell refuses to fade. My garage also smells terrible. Her garage door and frame is completely toasted.
