Big ass fire across from my condo!

[GTS Jeff]

Alright wtf. After spending awhile under my car getting all greasy and dirty, I go home to find the walk-up apartments across the alley BURNT THE FUCK DOWN! They're pretty old and ghetto, and they make for a shitty view from my balcony, so I guess it's nice that they'll be forced to rebuild a nicer place. Thankfully I closed the windows the night before so my condo isn't smoke damaged, but there is a stupid smell here.

I can't seem to find any news articles on it yet, but here are some pics I snapped:

Edmonton gets a ton of fires. In the time that I've lived here (all of undergrad) there have been two major fires on Whyte Ave, at least 3 industrial fires involving explosions and shit, and now this...

Chances are they will just redo the roof, clean the smoke and water damage, and rent them back out. A lot cheaper than rebuilding them. Too bad, they are damn ugly to have for a view.

Shit falls on you, you fall through stuff or jump off belcony to save ur life, run into something, get startled and cut yourself, etc.. etc..

EDIT: not to mention that when you get burnt from a fire, depening on the severity, you bleed.

:werd: The fires on Whyte were crazy. The grease fire from chinatown a couple of years ago was a huge blaze too.
