Too Close To Home

I don't know if this has made the news, but there was a pretty bad fire in the apt bldg next to mine. My next door neighbor came and got me and I got my roommate, and we up on the roof. The smoke was unbelieveable, and fire sparking everywhere.



My roomie got some photos, and I'm posting them, though they don't do this incident any justice. I heard from another neighbor on the other side of our bldg who came in from outside and saw some people being taken out. Lord knows I hope they are ok.

Anyway, all this got me thinking about how precarious life can be sometimes. It was good to see NYC's bravest out in full force and acting so quickly, but I still worry b/c you never know and I have to do all I can to keep me and Mr. K safe. Hopefully everyone will take this as a reminder to be every bit as careful as you can be.

I try not to worry, but when stuff like this happens, sometimes you just can't help it. Like I told one of my neighbors, all you can really do is pray...
