Emergency. 11/18/2004

We had a mild flap over the weekend where I lived. Someone in the other tower block reported smoke, and informed security. Security called emergency services and they responded in short order.

The firemen performed a floor by floor search, but could find nothing out of the ordinary, including any signs of a fire. I was down in the parking, being a typical nosey parker, taking pictures of things and people with my camera, when I asked one of the firemen, “Is anyone cooking?” They looked at each other for a moment, and then started knocking on doors to see if anyone had left something on the stove.

And sure enough, in one of the units, a blackened oven was found, with the remnants of the Sunday dinner stuck to the sides.
