God Bless the Firemen!!

So Tuesday Night while doing the dishes I smell a smell a sweet smell burning. Almost like a plastic burning. I look around and see nothing so I forget about it. When i walked into the living room I notice a light flashing outside the window. I think to myself, "what are the fire department doing outside now?" After last week I was prepared for anything. But it wasn't the fire department outside. IT WAS A FIRE!! There was a fire in our ally way next to our apartment and it was close to my window. I immediately looked for my phone to call 911, as i am pretty good at that now. I Hear the sirens from the trucks immediately, man they're fast. I put the leash on the dog and go to get the cat. But she, of course runs under the bed. So i run outside to get the pup to safety first. I leave her out with my neighbor and head back in the building. Ya, i know I'm not supposed to do that but it wasn't like the building was on fire. I eventually grab Bailey and look for her carrier. Can;t find it, of course. So i cram her in a puma bag, which she can easily get out of. We go outside and watch the strong men do their job. The fire was out in seconds. I was impressed with my "cat like" reflexes. Everything was OK and my place was safe. Just a little smoke in the apartment. I brought the lil' ones back to the apartment and went back out to watch the firemen work. They were so many that responded. Here are some shots at the 7 fire houses doing their jobs. God Bless the FDNY!!!
