This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.
Monday morning, I walked Falcor on the path I usually do and it's in the Mariana's grocery store parking lot next door. While I was walking over there, I spotted 2 ambulances and the police. I circled one of the police cars because it's hard to see. One ambulance was sitting a little way away from them but they still had their lights on.
The other ambulance was parked in front of another police car that was in front of the Ice Cream shop. I found out from the homeless people who were over there that there was a big fight between 3 other homeless people. 2 went to jail and one went to the hospital.

Monday afternoon while walking Falcor, I noticed smoke coming from one of the vacant houses around the corner that they have broken into and have been squatting in. So I stopped and called 911. Then I kept walking around the corner. A guy walked up to me and was taking pictures of the smoke and we watched as 8 homeless people ran from the back of the house and through the broken back fence, into the back alley. I'm sure they started the fire again. This house fire was right next door to the other house fire a couple of years ago.
I was standing on the corner where the house was down that street and saw the first fire truck coming down the street. Yep, that's my apartment complex in the background.
The first fire truck was coming up this street as well.
Then a few fire trucks showed up.
They got the fire out pretty quickly. I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt in this, so I think all the homeless people got out.
The first fire truck got there fast, and you can hear the others coming in the video I took.
The high this week was 89F/31C
The low this week was 53F/11C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Fire is a very scary thing. You certainly never want your home to burn down no matter where it is. We had a wind storm here on Friday that knocked out our electricity and it was not back on until Saturday night. Being freezing outside day and night it was darn cold in the house. I'm grateful for power this morning.
