RESCUE ME

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.
