what a way to start an evening! such an action-filled and crazy (at least for me) evening, read on...
just a lil before 7pm, i was lazily lounging around, when i smelled something like burnt plastic. so, i got my fat-ass to go down and check the kitchen, thinking that my mom prolly left something cooking. but the kitchen was clear.
i decided to go outside to see where the strong smell was coming from. just before, i reached for the doorknob of our front door, i heard a guy shouting
"SUNOG!!!" (fire). i immediately ran back to the room and called for help.
and it went like...
operator: rescue 161*...
me: i need an ambulance with water...
operator: HUH?
me: i mean, fire trucks... there's a fire across our house!
operator: street, please.
me: gumamela street
operator: there were others who called in earlier, the fire truck is about to dispatch.
me: ok, thanks. *hangs up* ;^_^)
aint that a crazy emergency call?!?!?! XDDD when i realized the things ive said to the operator... man, i was laughing at myself.
ambulance with water!?!??! duh!!! XDDD
anyway, in less than 2 minutes, the first fire truck came and started to work the way through the apartment complex. 4 big fire trucks and an ambulance followed in minutes. and after like 20 minutes or so (prolly even less), the fire fighthers have put out the fire.
i managed to take some snaps (lomo style) of the incident. i couldnt get closer to the fire fighters coz i didnt want to get in the way and it was also raining pretty hard.
