I just got back from a humongous house fire right down the street from my house.

If you know where the Guild 45th is, there are 3 buildings behind it that are now basically a total loss. Super crazy. I was awakened at 4:30am by at least 15 police, fire and paramedic vehicles blazing past my house. I walked down there to see what the deal was after checking out this online police scanner (can anyone say handy?). That was one of the most unbelievable things i've ever seen. I talked to some of the people hanging around and there were two guys who live right behind one of the buildings that burned who said they woke up to a huge blaze in their back yard at 3:30. I'm sitting here right now at my house and I can smell the smoke. I dont know if anyone was hurt or died, but the damage to the buildings is suuuuuuuuper bad. I'll go back later and take some pictures. Way scary... and literally 4 blocks from my house.
