  I heard someone's alarm going and thought they just burned the toast. But it kept ringing - not the building alarms - just the apartment alarm. But I heard fire trucks coming.

  So I figured it might be a good idea to get out of my PJs and put some clothes on just in case the fire was a bit more.

  Once dressed I heard someone coughing away in the hall and took a peek out. It was the super. He went into the smoky apartment and put out the fire. He said everything was under control and not to worry.

  Drat no good-looking brawny firemen to carry me down stairs

  Nice to hear that the fire was put under control before it could spread in other parts of the building and cause extensive damage. That's what firemen are there for, most of the time they have nothing to do but their services prove precious when fires begin to rage.

  That's really scary LadyLee, so glad it was small and containable. Fires, and just the sound of fire sirens scare the heck out of me, I had a house fire 2 years ago this coming Jan, and still can't stop the instant panic that comes up when I hear a siren. Glad your safe

  Sorry though you didn't get one of those fine strapping saviors to throw you over his shoulder and pack you out though..

  I'm glad your ok Lady Lee and it didn't turn into something serious.

  It's a shame there were no hot firemen though.

  Two doors down was too doors too close. If the super was choghing I have no idea about the lady who lived there. Hopfully she got out.

  Lady Lee, how come the building alarms didn't sound?

  Make sure you have smoke alarms in your apartment, also, and the batteries are new.

  Glad to hear you are okay.
