I almost lost everything tonight.
11 years ago
At around 9:30 tonight my girlfriend and I discovered a fire, in the store below our apartment.
It started with the smell of smoke, and we went to investigate. I could hear crackling through the rear window, and my girlfriend had gone around the front and heard it as well, and saw the smoke at the window.
If we hadn't caught it when we did, it could have taken our apartment, our whole life…
You don’t really realize what you've got until it’s almost taken from you.
Once again I’m left wondering, how much bad can possibly happen to one group of people? Everything we've lost already, and we nearly lost everything else we had but our lives.

We caught it quick enough it didn't have time to spread, it still did about $12,000 in damage, not counting the smoke.
That store needs to take more cautionary measures next time so that it doesn't happen again, I mean, they have to know that there is an apartment complex there.
