Today started off very interesting. This morning, I had to take my mom to the local laundromat to do some washing. We get inside and there was a burning smell in the place. Taking a look around, we notice that one of the dryers had caught on fire. First, I go looking for an extinguisher to put it out. There wasn't one. The next thing we do is get our stuff out, luckily we hadn't started the wash, and tell someone about it. Going to a gas station that isn't far away and tell them that there was a fire at the laundromat. Luckily one of the guys there was part of the fire department (the fire hall was right behind the gas station). We then head back to the car and wait for them to put out the fire. A few minutes later, a fire truck and couple rescue vehicles show up and they get to work. With nothing else to do, we head home and wonder when well be able to get the washing done.
Later in the day, we find out that it was alright to go in. The owner is someone we know and he was told that someone had informed the fire department about it and my dad let him know that it was me and my mom that noticed the fire. This wasn't the first time this has happened there and that someone from my family has seen a fire there. My dad spotted one there a while make. This made the owner wonder if we are the laundromat's security for spotting the fire. Well, it's pretty much being at the right place at the right time. If that fire went unnoticed, the whole block could've gone up in flames. That has happened in town before and no one wants to see that again. An interesting fact about this is that whenever a dryer caught on fire, it was always in the same location.
Now, fic news. I am now officially 2/3 of the way completed. With over 2000 words, I feel pretty good that I'll reach 3000 but if I don't, that's not a big deal. I should have it done and ready to beta by the middle of the week. So, things are looking pretty good.
