No seriously has anyone noticed the amount of fires lately
@bxwolfpt135 lately ?
She’s ok her and her son made it out
Mind you the lady that lives there is a hoarder and smokes a lot of cigs she might’ve started it OR the management’s horribly work with electricity might’ve caused it. Now there’s water leaking from the aftermath so who’s in management better see this comment and fix people’s apartments and now the hallways thats flooded with water (dont leave the carpet there smelling up the hallways either!) I hope everyone comes together to sue them for real…. now if it was her for being careless with cigs or whatever she was doing she’s gonna have a rude awakening from everyone here because she was acting all fine while her apartment was on fire AND OTHERS I feel bad for everyone else on the 19th floor.
So is the lady ok did she live. A cigarette isn't going to get the fire on the way it was. Definitely gas was another issue to have blown a he that size
Firefighters are awesome humans
