An interesting evening

The other night I was part of quite a curious situation and ended up feeling very embarrassed. I was sitting at my computer doing some homework when I heard some kind of an alarm going off. I walked around the apartment and realized it was coming from the hallway. Going into the hallway the place was filled with a grey-black smokey haze and it became clear that the piercing 'EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!' was coming from the neighbors apartment. I have never seen the girl that recently moved in there, so I didn't just go knock like looking back I suppose I should have. I was surprised that no one else in the building was coming out into the hallway considering the smoke and piercing beeping echoing through all the halls. Nonetheless I went downstairs with my stuff and decided it might be best to make a phone call.

I decided to call 911 to be safe, because who knows - the apartment could have been on fire, and my neighbor burnt to a crisp. I explained to the guy where I was, and told him that I wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but there was smoke and and alarm, so I just wanted to be cautious. He told me fine, and that he would send someone out to check it out.

WELL. "Someone" meant 3 firetrucks and at least one police car. It was a HUGE commotion and I felt like a retard considering by that time the alarm had stopped going off. The firemen all basically ignored me, and were getting out the hose and whatnot. I finally got one to talk to me and told him why I had called, etc. So 3 guys in all their gear with like crowbars go upstairs and I see the poor girl from the apartment in the hallway being like "omg i feel like a moron". They went into her apartment to check on everything while I hid in my own apartment, waiting for them to leave. In the end I heard them laughing, but I felt so bad that I made such a huge commotion for nothing.

The end.
