Fire doused

Today at 2:58 AM Pacific Standard Time, firefighters arrived at my home apt. to stop a fire inside the trash bin in front of my home. As far as I know no one hurt or injured.
I smelled something burning. Went to investigate. Just as I peered out my front windows, seeing neighbors standing peering towards the trash bin as silently a firetruck pulled up. Quickly, fire equipment was out to douse the fire. I stood looking toward the situation, not daring to venture outside. As soon as I knew everything was safe, I went back to sleep. Very early & rude awakening!

Very. You know what, in yesterday's news, 3 State buildings were also set in fire by arson! Small spacey like doors and like our trash bin small places set ablaze!

Thanks. It's an odd, shuddering feeling, a person would do that.

The handyman came by today. Looks like this coming week, he'll be working to repair the area. We still got the same bin with no lids

@oahuwriter Yes, that is close. I'm glad someone called before it got out of hand.

At least it was a trash bin and not someone's unit.
