On a more serious note, last night we were awakened shortly after 1 am to the sound of multiple sirens rushing by. I didn't think it was anything until they kept coming for another 20 minutes. When I looked out our window, there were flames shooting over a hundred feet in the air and totally engulfing the apartment across the road from us. Within an hour, two very large apartment buildings and their surroundings had entirely burned to the ground. It took all of the resources of Fargo, West Fargo and Horace just to keep the burn under control. They had to evacuate hundreds of apartments from the surrounding buildings. Some of you might know that we have a problem with our neighbors starting fires in our building (accidentally, but still!) and I don't really think anyone takes it seriously. I hope that next time they actually realize the damage they could have caused.
Don't play with matches, don't smoke in bed, don't overload your outlets, etc.; but most of all, be safe!

Oh Carolyn, on the phone at such a young age?! That's cool, I'll talk with you anytime :)
Glad to hear that the apt. fire wasn't in your building for a change, and that the buildings that burned were still under construction and no one was living there. Glad you're all okay :)
