An unfortunately exciting afternoon in the neighborhood. I was working away on my month-end close reports when it started to sound like every emergency vehicle from a 3-mile radius was pulling up and stopping right nearby. I decided to take a break and go out and see what was going on.
One of the lovely old homes on East 18th was on fire. I think I heard one of the firemen say that no one was inside - don't know if they meant they got everyone out or if no one was home, but glad to hear no one was hurt. The firefighters got things under control fairly quickly, but what a rotten thing for someone to have to deal with on top of everything else. :(
The exterior of the house looked to be intact except for where the firefighters had broken in, but there was definitely damage.
There were 9 big trucks and about the same number of smaller vehicles - it was so sad that they had to be here but I still found it fascinating looking at all the various units that had come out and seeing their pride through all the various emblems and memorials on their trucks.

That is unfortunate. Fire damage is a royal pain even in the vest of times.
