You never know what life will throw your way. Last week after feeding the kid, I walked up to CVS (had a craving for candy). Although it was a cool day, we had a fairly warm week and the daffodils were pushing up and beginning to bloom. I decided to take my camera with and snap a few pics to share. I was only going to be gone 15 minutes so I left the space heater on- what could happen?
As I started home I wondered who would have their fireplace going at 2pm? About a block from the apartment the smell became stronger and there was smoke. I picked up the pace and turning the corner into the complex I saw wall of smoke. Panic never before felt shook me. To my relief, it was not in my complex but one street over. I shut of the space heater and hightailed it around the block. I arrived just as AFD pulled up and began their work. Within 20 minutes the house was pretty much gone and the fire department was rolling up their hoses.
The cause is still unknown but I will never leave the apartment with the space heater running again- not even 1 minute!
Lesson learned.
