The 5th floor is on Fire

Yes, you read that right. This morning, 3:15 to be exact, my crazy upstairs neighbor set her apartment on fire. After over an hour of screaming, loud TV and throwing glass and paint cans out of the window for over 30 minutes just after 3 she officially lost it. The cops had to break down her door because she wouldn't answer. Little did we know at the time she was starting a fire.

Everyone in the building got out safe and sound, but we were all a little shaken up. We were not able to go back to our apartment until almost 5 a.m. I'll have to say it is pretty intense to have the FDNY and the NYPD in your apartment baging down your door screaming at you to "get out. FIRE!"

Hats off to NYPD, FDNY and our Super for making it all go as smooth as possible!

Only in NYC do you hear and see things like this - that's why they say there's no place like New York...You'll remember these crazy moments forever - I still laugh about all our adventures from NYC when we were first married and living on the upper west side. Happy to know everyone is safe!
