A very busy day for my smoke detector
A very busy day for my smoke detector
At 08:30 the outside one goes off. Opened the door and the hallway full of smoke. Here we go, I thought. Grabbed the Go-Bag and headed downstairs. There was downstairs lady with a mini-dustbin on fire. I though she was burning rubbish. She pointed to me to turn down my noise making thing and I gestured to her "No" and she should turn down her indoor fire. She put out the fire and I cancelled the noise.
I went out and saw half the city have got one of these bucket fires going on. On my return another piles of ashes in a bowl outside another door and they obviously got another earful of noise.
So, what is going on with the fires and how long is this fire hazard set to last? I have taken in my detector for today but it will be going back out tonight. Is this going to be just a one day affair?
