I live in a ground floor flat that backs out onto a city centre alley. Our buzzer is broken and our windows are completely filthy and you can't see anything out. Tonight I'm home alone. Earlier I smelt smoke (thought it was someone smoking, happens enough) then thought I hear rain (which I though was weird because it wasn't forecast) finally I noticed orange flackery light. I peered out the window and realised that there was a fire somewhere close by. At that point minor panic grabbed my essentials (my laptop with my PhD on it and one or two emotional things + wallet, phone, keys) pulled on joggers and a hoodie and went to investigate. Turns out someone set some rubbish on fire - no biggie - fire men on scene. Ok so all good. I am freaked because what if it was a big fire? My buzzer doesn't work, my windows are completely stuck shut and only look out onto the alley. I will be messaging my landlord in the morning to get stuff sorted but tonight I am a bit shaken - silly I know, such a tiny fire, but the what if is the scariest thing.
