Another fire

July 25th, 2010

We need to move.

This town where we reside is slowly but surely going to hell, last night we had yet another huge fire, the third one in just a couple of months. I heard the sirens (I pay attention due to my dad being a fire man when I was a kid) and went on the balcony as I thought they sounded near, out there I see a huge cloud of smoke, call Lev out and we come to the conclusion that it’s a big fire and that it’s close our favorite grocery store in town.
Noosey as we are we took the car and headed out, as we got closer we realized how big the fire was, Lev saw the flames a few hundred meters away. We and half of the population in town just stood by and watched it all, a few people took pics and everyone I heard seemed to point out that they’re too many fires over here.

It was some big (and maybe unused) warehouse building that went down, the fire spread to the pet store and that one also got ruined (they managed to save the rodents and reptiles, the turtles and fishies were shit out of luck :-( ) The fire department had to use all their forces to try and prevent it from spreading to the big grocery store next door. It took them all night and this morning the fire was put out.

Been reading the news all morning, they suspect it of being arson (just like the 3 other fires) and last night, during their work, the cops and fire men had to deal with frickin teenagers/kids that was running around lighting wood and bushes on fire as well as tearing down the barricades that had been put up. Unbelievable!

This town is… blah. I want to move, like now.
