Scary Morning!

So yesterday the frozen car, today apartment fire. We are okay however another is not.

T&P would be appreciated for whoever was in the apartment that was on fire. Apparently one person didn't make it. I can't seem to rest knowing that someone lost their life twenty feet from here so I just keep praying, I'm hoping some added help from you guys might help them too. I don't know the circumstances of anything just that the news said that the person had passed before emergency crews got there. 

The alarms in the hall of our building went off around 3 am less than a minute later you could see smoke coming up the stairwells.Apparently I'm the thinker in panic situations not the SO. My mom lives next door so we went and told her to get out and she called 911 on the way out. We grabbed the already packed hospital bag and stuffed my cat in a carrier and by the time we did that the police were banging on doors getting people out of the building. We found my mom again when we got downstairs and tried both of our cars again but no luck. One of the police let my cat and mother sit in his car (I insisted she take it, she's pretty frail and with baby cooking in me I was doing better than most people in the -14 degree weather).

I had an appointment this morning that I had to cancel 'cuz no cars = no way there. They were worried about smoke inhalation but we were only in it for the run downstairs so I'm no too worried. (Blew my nose got some black out, everything else seems fine.) The building however smells TERRIBLE and after all that freaking out I'm worried about baby girl. It would seem however as I type this though she has become VERY squirmy so I guess I'm just still in panic mode. I just feel so bad for that person/their family. I don't know what else to do then to tell people and try to keep prayers going for them.

  • Oh my gracious! I'm so sorry you're going through this, we will be keeping you and your neighbors in our thoughts and prayers. I can not imagine what you all are going through. I'm so glad you are ok, but my heart breaks for those who did not make it. Please keep us updated, hopefully they can get the smoke cleared out and everything cleaned before your LO arrives.

  • Thank you ladies.They still aren't telling us what exactly happened. SO walked down stairs to see the damage. I couldn't bring myself to do it. It's just too much sad that someone lost their life in there. No matter what you try not to see the whole second floor on our side is just totally black and there is padlocks on the doors they had to break down. I cried going to get a soda 'cuz I had to walk by the floor, not even the apartment itself. It's just so sad.

  • Holy moly, that is a LOT going on for you recently.  I'm so happy that you, your LO, and your family are doing ok!  That is so sad that someone passed on from the fire.  I will keep you (and the person who died) in my thoughts.  I really hope things start to calm down for you!
