Fire!

Not the Tea fire, not the Sayre fire, and not the Freeway Complex fire, but there was actually a fire in Alhambra tonite which is a few blocks away from where I live. The fire started before 11pm, and shortly after 11, my building's fire alarm went off because the smoke blew this way. The alarm didn't stop till 30 mins later, plus there were helicopters circling above and sirens all over. My ears!
