well, this is serious, not playing.
Wenseday Morning at 6:30, i smelt smoke, so i get my sister ( who is about 8 montsh pregnant) and her boyfriend and tell em theres a fire so we get out teh apartment and i tell my neighbors and we call teh fire department, we can see the smoke from outside but dont know where its commin from, the fire dept gets there and they cant find it either so they start lookin at the apartments behind us, they find a fire inbetween floors with the apartment connected to mine so teh fire is inbetween floors and they cant get to it, they finally get it out and end result, my kitchen is caved in, both my bathrooms have water damage.
we think its a electrical fire, we have black rings around all of our appliances.
im pretty sure its an electrical fire cause i took my ps2 with me ( you kno im black) to teh hotel and it dont work, well my expensive ass clothes now all smell like smoke, my furniture has smoke damage, my sisters baby clothes and shit has smoke damage.
well, even tho this happened the other day i wasnt too worried figured i spend maybe 2 days in a hotel, then the property manager will place us in a new apartment...well thats not the case, they just rented out new apartments to new people but are leaving a few of the folks affected by thsi fire out in teh cold ( the whole unit im in has no electricty)....so this is about 10 families with no place to go, i think this is so fucked up, now we are paying for hotels out of our pocket EVEN tho we have renters insurance and they told me today that they are looking...bullshit, how long does it take to see what aoartments you have vacant.....this just irks me fa real....well i got sum pix if ya'll wanna peep

Im really sorry that happened. Things will work out though, and possibly for the better. Everything happens for a reason, gotta remember that.

I was gonna say take your clothes to the cleaners.. also there is this stuff that you can get at alot of auto stores in the air fresheners section I think it is called Ozium???? But it works wonders on smoke damage. Had a friends car catch fire and he sprayed that shit in the vents and everything and within a day you could never tell the car ever smelled like smoke.

thank god you guys were ok. A girl I went to High School with had her apartment catch on fire. Unlike you, she did not have renters insurance. She lost everything. If you guys need any thing let me know. Think of it this way, at least this did not happen closer to Winter.
