Last night I heard fire engine sirens and all kinds of commotion around midnight. This morning I got up and found an email from my mom (a school teacher at the local elementary school).

The email said that last night her building had a fire!

Luckily someone was there to trigger the fire alarm (teachers keep funny hours too maybe???!!!), or I'm sure it would have been worse.

The fire was on the opposite side of the building as where Mom works, but if there was smoke damage I suppose her room could be affected.

Just Wow.
