The Great Carlyle Fire of 2011!



The day started out hectic enough. I made an apple pie for a massive lunch my room mates and I were planning for Saturday afternoon. We invited roughly 30 people to this lunch. It was truly epic. I did get the apple pie made in the end, but later on in the day, as the kitchen continued to be continually hectic and overly crowded, our fire alarm started going off. We contacted the front desk, but they told us it was not a problem. Go figure. I began making my video for the week, and just as I was saying that I didn't know what else to put into the video, the main fire alarm in the building went off.

As we all filed out of the building, we shared one thought. Was it our fault?

It took forever for the staff to let us back into the room, and with the impending approach of Shabbos, tensions began to rise. We found out that the alarm was actually sounded because a girl in our tower had put her hangers on a sprinkler on the 6th floor. Some rooms in the floors below her were flooded knee deep in water. Luckily, our room was saved and completely dry.
