Fire!!!!

Today after enjoying a nice leisurely birthday lunch for Adam we got a phone call indicating that there was a fire at one of our buildings. Now the first thing that we did was phone our resident manager and because we could not reach them I went on the building to meet the fire department. As I drove towards the building I was meet by 15 fire trucks and 4 ambulance trucks and a couple of police cars and camera crews for the news. I had to wait for the fire department to complete there investigation and then I had to wait for the door jams to be repaired as the fire department kicked them in to ensure that the building was evacuated and board up the windows that were broken in order for the smoke to leave the unit. Around this time the fire department had left a message on the resident managers phone indicating a third floor unit was on fire in his building. He came back panicking because he lives on the third floor but was relieved when he found out that it was not his unit. When I went into the unit after the fire fighters completed the investigation it was very Erie feeling and the paint had flaked off the walls and looked like it was black fabric draped on the walls. So tomorrow we start the restoration process and meet with the insurance company. We contacted the tenant and he was going to meet the resident manager to look at the unit. At least no one was hurt during the fire.
