Nashville Apartment Complex Burns
I watched an apartment complex burn to the ground today near the Nashville airport. I was so close that I was afraid it would melt my camera. I saw them giving one woman oxygen, and one lady was treated for smoke inhalation, but fortunately, no one was killed. It was a major fire. They had 100 firefighters fighting it, if you can believe it. Hard to describe.
Just so you know, firemen are not there to put out your house. They prevent the fire from spreading to other houses. That is all. Think about it. If they really wanted to prevent houses from burning, then why wouldn't houses have to have sprinkler systems like commercial buildings? Or why wouldn't each house have to have a fire hydrant installed in the front yard? You never thought about it, did you? The firemen bring the marshmallows and the police mop up the blood. Now go back to watching Amerikan Idol.
