Wow.
Well, this is really off topic compared to the usual stuff I post, but I'm still obsessing over this morning. So first off, I stayed up until about 2:50 AM last night with 7 friends building/using a party room (strobe lights, hanging glow poi, etc.). So yeah, I fell asleep around 3:00 AM, and woke up at 6:00 AM to one of my friends yelling "Fire".
I kind of did a double-take in my head, then jumped up and ran to the window where there was a huge wall of fire running up the house, I told everyone to get their expensive stuff and leave the house. Somehow or another my fire alarm wasn't going off despite the top of the room being, at this point, slightly smoky (the whole house smelled like what I imagine is burning paint, but it smelled horrible whatever it was). I grabbed my phone, called 911, gave my location etc. as calmly as I could, I know they dispatch as soon as you give location but I think they should make that more clear, since anyone who didn't know that would quickly lose pat…
