Burnt Toast = Heart Attack

Thursday, January 24th, Meri received a rather ominous sounding email entitled, "Fire in our building" from the president of our condo association. The text of the email was:

"All -

Kevin just called me... there is a fire in the Adora right now and the fire department is there... Kevin is waiting outside and the firemen are trying to figure out what unit it is coming from.

I will keep you all posted on the situation..."

Obviously, heart palpitations ensued as Meri tried to get the contact info from Mike of John who is renting our apartment. Minutes later the update arrived stating:

"The firemen came and dealt with it.... all is under control now. It was in Unit 204."

Upon following up with the condo president about what happened, the story is this...the cleaning lady in Unit #204 decided to toast some bread and burnt it, she opened the windows but that didn't help so she opened the door to the hallway. The smoke set of the smoke alarms for the whole building and DCFD showed up to save the day, but not the toast.

We know, hard to believe that a piece of burnt toast would bring the DCFD, but it happened. At least we know the alarm works.
