• A neighbor's house down the street caught on fire

And the unreal thing is (at least to me) that I've actually been to that house a few times. Basically these Malaysians lived in this house for 3 years and, yeah, I've been to their house on a few occasions, they sometimes invited me to some random kiddy thing; they were nice people though. Anyway, they only just moved out a few months ago and then someone bought it. The house wasn't vacated by the owners at the time, but there were some renovators doing some shit where kitchen was and something happened. (details kinda vague) I took both pictures and video, I'll get the video uploaded later. It's just so fucking unreal to me as I've been here quite a few times. Now the owner was getting ready to move in and their fucking house burns up. Not to criminalize them, but I had notice that it took 30 minutes after the firefighters arrived before they decided to start spraying water on the building.

[editline]21st May 2011[/editline] also the owner and everyone who was inside is okay, forgot to mention that [editline]LinuX sucks massive horse dick[/editline] update: aftermath - [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1090635-A-neighbor-s-house-down-the-street-caught-on-fire?p=29998608&viewfull=1#post29998608[/url]
Glad to hear they're okay.
Is there any likely cause for the fire yet? Or is it still not known?
I wonder what the renovators are thinking right now
Thats terrible..
[QUOTE=Elizer;29976786]Is there any likely cause for the fire yet? Or is it still not known?[/QUOTE] i told you everything i know
[QUOTE=Aurora93;29976812]i told you everything i know[/QUOTE] Hope you update the thread as more details become known. Glad to hear everything's ok for the homeowners.
incoming racist jokes about the mexican and black renovators

Damn, those poor peop... WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT TREE?!
[QUOTE=Aurora93;29976698] Not to criminalize them, but I had notice that it took 30 minutes after the firefighters arrived before they decided to start spraying water on the building. [/QUOTE] That's common. They don't start spraying water before they know what kind of fire it is.
[QUOTE=Pucenator;29976959]Damn, those poor peop... WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT TREE?![/QUOTE] Yeah, I know. Fun fact: I had actually never noticed that on the tree until today [img]http://gyazo.com/a5cf385f89a6f92c15dec901fc9b00dd.png[/img]

HEY BUDDY. ABOVE ME. YEAH YOU. FUCK. YOU. FGSFDS.

Your neighborhood looks nice. Just saying.
Rapture? :v:
That tree is REALLY creeping me out.
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;29977154]Your neighborhood looks nice. Just saying.[/QUOTE] yeah we're actually situated on a peninsula on a lake only thing is you can't see the fucking lake from our house now, can I? [editline]21st May 2011[/editline] well maybe when they tear that house down i can actually see it heh
This reminds me of about 5 years ago when I was in 5th grade, my house caught on fire and didn't completely burn down. My family was displaced for about 6 months while my parents and their friends along with volunteers from our church fixed the damage to our house and made it livable again. Luckily, our goldfish were the only living things hurt.
poor goldfish :( [editline]21st May 2011[/editline] how could you say that it was lucky
The tree did it. I can see it in his eyes!
