Fire!

Last night I was roused at the ungodly hour of 11:45 from a deep sleep by fire alarms going off in our apartment. At first I couldnt really tell what it was, and thought that my roomate was for some reason making alot of noise, and was a little peeved off. However, I was not yet annoyed enough to actually get up. My roomate finally came into my room, and explained that fire alarms were going off, people were evacuating, and that I should get up. haha.

Now the alarms are pretty loud, complete with flashing lights, and I couldnt figure out what was going on. So, we ended up throwing on coats, and going outside. I was pretty positive it was 3am, until I checked, and realized it was only 11:45. We stood around for a few minutes, until we saw the firetrucks. We watched the trucks drive up, and then turn down the street the wrong way, and go the another building. What the heck! All our crap could have been burning, and they were about a block away at another building! A man from our building walked over, told the firmen to come to our place, after which they proceeded to slowly back up, and drive over to our building.

I dont think there was any fire, and the firemen seemed to know this. They took quite awhile to actually get the alarms turned off though. There was a total of 4 trucks. 4! and there was no fire!
We stood outside for about 45 min, and then could finally go back in. It took me about another 30 min before I thawed out enough to fall back asleep.
So crazy!
