Where's the fire?

Ok, so the other night in my brother's apartment building in Cambridge Mass, someone was cooking and it must have gotten a little smoky in their apartment because the fire alarm went off. Those of us on the third floor of the building could easily tell that it was due to cooking because of the smell. Well, in any event, the Cambridge fire department had to arrive to make sure it was safe for us to go back inside. The part that really scared me was this. It was that the fire department is not even three blocks away and it took them a half hour just to get to the apartment. My brother, his roommate and girlfriend and I were kind of scared at the thought of what would happen had there actually been a fire.

Winston, you lead what could only be described as, in Lady Bracknell's words, "a life crammed with incident."

What a great movie. The sequel fell a little flat though

LOL taz.

Winston, you're in for a troubled, stressful life if you spend too much time worrying about what could have happened.

When I crossed the street today, I could have been hit. When I went online today, I could have gotten a virus. My heart could stop ticking for no reason.

Be happy nothing happened. Be grateful nobody was hurt and there was no property damage. You have no idea if that same unit was responding to a more severe fire emergency.

JerseyGirl, however, has a legitimate reason to be angry. If I worked at that fire department, they'd have to fire me, because I'd respond to the fire regardless of what county it was in.
