I live up the road from a fire hall. I'm use to seeing - and hearing - the trucks go by at least 2-3 times a day. This is the first time one of those loud beasts stopped at my apartment building. Seems half of the apartments are pretty much apathetic to this situation. I am not. I slipped on my sneakers and went downstairs, and despite being on the top floor, I was the first person down to let the gentlemen into the building. I saw a total of probably 3-4 others that were at least interested enough to step out into the hall to ask what was going on. (it's a 10-apartment building. I'm pretty sure all of them are occupied)

Anyway, the firemen went downstairs to the ... I don't know if it's the electrical room or boiler room or what to call it. Suffice to say it's where the hot water tanks and heaters are located. They poked around outside and in the room etc.... but in the end left after not finding anything out of place.

I'm hoping that indeed nothing is wrong... Now excuse me while for no particular reason I go for a short walk to admire the building from the outside. I'm glad I don't go to bed for another 4-6 hours anyway. Because I doubt I'd be sleeping much before then regardless.

And yeah, this is going to slow down my code for a while. >_>
