Fire!

Saturday night, Theresia and I went out to karaoke. When we came back early in the morning, there were odd looking suds out in the parking lot. I thought that some kids had been out playing, but apparently there was a fire in my apartment building!!! The apartment manager was in the hallway and they were putting a door on the apartment below mine. The bottom apartment caught fire some time around midnight. The apartment above it on the 2nd floor had no answer at the door, so they had to bust it down to check for fire (there was none). My apartment on the 3rd floor (above the one that they busted the door in) was fine...EXCEPT...my room mate's mother came out and left the door wide open. Smoke got into our apartment and there is a fine layer of soot on everything that has to be cleaned. My bedroom remained sealed. It smells fine and no soot, but my bathroom door was open, and I had to clean everything thoroughly. All the kitchen had to be cleaned, even inside the cabinets which I guess were opened. My room-mate's mother is crazy and never leaves the apartment, so when she finally left, she just kinda ran out screaming--or the firefighters had to drag her out. It still smells like smoke, but its not really strong. Since I cleaned the bathroom, you can't tell it too much. I need to mop the floor and wash the rugs then it should be completely fine. If I could catch my room mate's mother sleeping, I would unload a whole bottle of Fabreeze on that living room and dining room carpet.
