Fire?

Last night, I went out for pizza with Erika and Colleen. I rode over with Erika, and when we were leaving, I happened to glance across the street. It looked to me like an apartment was on fire. The curtains looked like they were on fire. I made Erika look, and we sat there for a few minutes, trying to determine if it was just a candle, or a tv flickering, or an actual fire. I thought about calling 911, but I didn't want to do so if there wasn't actually a fire.

While we were pulling out, Erika and I both noticed that it looked like the fire was spreading up the curtains on the window. So I asked her to drive over there. I didn't feel comfortable just leaving without at least checking it out.

We drove over, and after staring up at the building for several minutes, neither one of us could find the window where we thought the fire was, so we decided there wasn't a fire, and drove off.

This morning on the news, I heard there was an apartment fire in Maryland, and that 2 people are dead because of it. I panicked at first, thinking it was our fire, but then they said the name of the town, and it was no where near this apartment building. I mean, I'm sorry those people died in a fire, but I'm just relieved we weren't wrong about the fire we thought we saw.
