Yo, my apartment almost got on fire.

I'm here to tell you what happened because my roommate and I was very FRICKKIN' lucky.

I was asleep until 4 o'clock in the morning when the fire alarms with the strobes on it are blaring and flashing. I woke up and smell the smoke. I ran to my door and opened it up to see the smoke coming up from downstairs. I managed to woke my roommate up and ran down to the stairs to find out what the hell is going on. The smoke was thickening and it came from the kitchen. I ran to see the chaos and saw the stove was literally on fire. Apparently, the stove was left on and caused the slow burn on the wood cutting board and the cooking glove. I started to open the windows and then I grabbed the big cluck of wood on fire, which it used to be a wood cutting board. I threw it outside, went back inside to stop the fire, and sprayed water to stop the fire. The fire was out and I called the fire department to come over for checking out if everything is fine and safe.

Meanwhile the firemen came and looked around, My roommate admitted to me that he forgot to turn off the stove after he finished cooking and went to bed.

Keep it in mind, that we are both deaf and very, very, very lucky to be here. If it wasn't for the fire alarm strobes installed in the apartment, we will be screwed.

Here's the pictures of the aftermath:

This is what left for a wooden cutting board, an oven glove, and some glassware melted.

Firefighters.

The damages.

This is going to bite us in our asses...
