Big fire

[capitlj]

I went out drinking last night and left my car on 9th ave just off of 42nd, so this morning I'm riding my bike back to my car and I turn off of 42nd and right into a wall of white smoke. The apartment building right next to where I parked my car was on fire as I was leaving the flames were just starting to come out of the soffet so the attic area was burning. The Fire department has their work cut out for them. When I got home, past 32nd, the smoke was really starting to build I can see it now from m place.

the buildings done for i heard.

sucks for everyone who lived there

The building is pretty much done for, I live two buildings away from it, and the entire roof is caved in, and I'm sure the rest of the building is wrecked from all the water damage. I wonder how many of the people that live there don't have rental insurance? As for anyone getting hurt, I haven't heard anything. I'm just glad I'm moving away from this neighborhood in 2 weeks. Woot!

I watched the fire for about an hour, it was a stubborn fire, kept jumping and relighting. as for renters ins, i talked with a firefighter and a goldmark employee, sadly only two people had insurance! and what the fire didnt destroy, the water finished. they say the building is still structuraly sound, the goldmark employee and the firefighter both told me it will be restored/rebuilt.

As with anything like this you can't help but feel bad for the people involved, as far as I know nobody was hurt.

I few pics of the aftermath.

they have any idea what caused the fire?

I haven't heard anything yet.. But I have a feeling it was probably some sort of electrical problem. Who knows though.. Until they investigate it, we won't know what really did.

You should. It's usually dirt cheap. I think we used to pay like $50 every 6 months.

They just said something about it might have been a faulty outlet on 3rd floor.

[integra_gsr98]

I paid $6/month for renters insurance when I had it... it's too cheap to not have.

[ichibankilla]

From what I hear it started in the attic, also, I guess none of the fire alarms went off either.

[SPANISH-RICE]

yeah i thought it was like 5 or 6 bucks

If you can swing it, it would probably be advisable to pick up renter's insurance. Crazy shit happens (as shown).

seriously "reshalghoul", I normally don't pick on you, but most of your posts are either a shot at someone or a complete reiteration of what the person(s) above you have already posted. If you didn't already have 192 posts, I'd swear you were trying to get into the classifieds or the arcade section of this site.

However, seeing that you are well beyond the required posts for both, I have since decided you like to see yourself type.

and yes, I know I should have capitalized "seriously" at the start of the sentence, so please don't criticize my writing habits, for I do not wish to feel ill about my failed attempt at internet typing.
