+ / - fire

June 19th, 2009 | by becca |

My old apartment building caught on fire last night, and from the looks of this photo, my old apartment might be totally scorched.

(second floor, right hand side apartment)

i don’t think anybody was hurt (thank god). the only report i can find says that the blaze was caused by an electical fire (which doesn’t surprise me in the least; the building was not well maintained and i’m sure that there was a lot of gnarly wiring going on),.

i’m getting claustrophobic just thinking about the low ceilings and the tiny rooms and trying to climb through that window onto the fire escape. i grew to hate that apartment.

it’s a little bit weird to see a photo like this: of a hallway i walked down every day for 2+ years. i’m glad i don’t live there anymore; maybe no one should ever again.
