Day Eight Hundred and Twenty Four

Wednesday

All was going well getting ready for work as Kate was in the shower when the fire alarm in the building started. Another false alarm we thought, but it kept going so quickly got dressed and headed outside. No sign of fire brigade but a commotion around the hairdressers in the ground floor, lots of smoke and water coming out from above and below door. Seems the place was actually on fire.


Fire brigade showed up and smashed their way in through the expensive glass door. I ended up doing some traffic control as stupid motorists were trying to drive over their hoses.

Seems the sprinklers did their job well and stopped an inferno.

After about 40 minutes we could go back in. Place smells of smoke a bit

Drove Kate to work as buses were shot then, and headed back to have shower myself and walk to work.

Uneventful day at work and then home for dinner and Skype with folks.

Pics of fire brigade to follow, my phone is being dodgy and not letting me transfer them to mac for some reason.
