Wordy Wednesday



Yesterday afternoon, mama was watching a movie....and she always puts on headphones when she watches tv or a movie.....

She heard a lot of sirens, etc, over the headphones, but didn't think too much of it, cuz we live in the medical centers part of San Antonio so always have a lot of sirens.

Then our sisterbean called mama and  told her to look out the window cuz she heard our apartment complex was on fire!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully it wasn't terribly serious and was contained to two apartments.....the ones in the building facing us.

We got to watch all the excitment.......mama counted 9 fire trucks!!!!!!!!  Several ambulances, police cars and various other vehicles that respond to fires.  Mama said she felt comforted that response was so good in our area.

Thankfully, it was quickly put out and no one was injured.....but it gave us several hours of watching all that was going on across the way.

We haven't heard what the cause was.

Today us boys are making up for the food we missed while watching all the excitment!!!!



Love and Purrs,

Sammy and Andy

Gosh, thank heavens it wasn't your apartment that was on fire. And we are so glad no one was hurt. Bet all of you were glued to the windows watching all the excitement. You two boys look so cute having your dinner together.

Oh my, I'm so thankful you all didn't have any problems! I'll be it was kind of exciting though!

Kea said...

Wow, we're glad it wasn't serious! That's one of our mom's biggest fears, trying to get us into PTUs and safe in an emergency like a fire. We're glad you didn't have to evacuate your own building!

Maybe it was a cigarette or pot left on a burner? Those seem to be the most common causes.

I am glad it wasn't in YOUR building!! THAT would be really awful. Enjoy your ... belated dinner!

Random Felines said...

That is scary. We have to admit - this is the one thing that freaks mom out. She just isn't sure how we would all get out of the house and if we got out how she would find us all again (which is another good reason we have microchips). We hope your neighbors are all OK.

You boys are so cute catching up on your missed meals. We are so happy you all are safe. We live about a mile from the hospital and hear sirens a lot.

That must have been scary! We are glad that you weren't hurt or displaced by the fire!

Sagira said...

That is crazy that someone had to call you to tell you that your building was on fire. Didn't the fire alarms go off? EEK!

Glad you're all safe and sound though.

I am glad you all were safe! My human once had something similar happen - she was on the phone with a friend and kept hearing helicopters. It got really annoying because she could barely hear to talk, and she looked out of the window of her condo... and the nearby hill her window faced was on fire! The helicopters were dropping water to put out the flames. Fortunately, the fire did not spread.

Amy & the house of cats said...

Oh we are so glad that you are all safe and that the only participation you had in that excitement was as observers! We are glad that no one was hurt in the fire and we think it is smart of you to catch up on the foods you missed now that things have calmed down.

So scary! I am glad you are all OK! Yesterday must have been the day for scary fires. Last night my mom was downstairs working on the computer. She had a feeling to to go upstairs and when she did she smelled a horrible scent. Somehow (and we still don't know how), my feline sister Rosie had jumped up on the stove and singed her whiskers. The burners were not on, but we think when she jumped she must have hit the knob and turned it on. Thank goodness she was OK and it wasn't worse. My little sister's bedroom is right off the kitchen so it could have been terrible ...mama was pretty shaken by the whole thing.

Your pal, Pip
