House Fire March 9th 2018

Hive account@kelsnm and I thought we were heading to the gym this morning, but life had different plans. As I let Indigo out before to pee before we left, I smelled an unnatural smoke smell... the smell of burning phosphorus or similar to a match head burning.

I was thinking of flying to spot where the smoke was coming from but Kelsey was hustling me because she had to go to her 9-5 so we drove around the neighborhood instead.. and didn't see anything until we drove past the driveway of my neighbors and saw the black smoke emanating from his their garage.

Kelsey spotted charring on the garage as well and so she turned the car around and pulled up the driveway. Sure enough there was clear evidence there was a fire burning inside the house that shouldn't be. So we immediately hopped into action. I ran to the front door while calling for fire assistance. Rang the doorbell for about two minutes repeatedly and spoke with dispatch. Thankfully no one was home to be rendered unconscious from the thick smoke that filled the interior.

Local Fire and the rest of the associated assistance were there about 5 minutes after calling it in. My adrenaline was pumping so fast I could hardly make clear sentences Hahah not even kidding. A lot of emotions came to mind whilst watching the crews do their thing... All of those memories potentially destroyed.

So much drama in the past few days here in our lives. From Cancer being introduced back into the family, to the neighbors house nearly burning down... I mean, I only imagine what damage would have occurred if we didn't catch it when we did.

Still, other people have it way worse.
