Disaster struck one of our neighbours on new years eve. Their (a grandmother + kid) christmas tree caught on fire and their whole flat was basically destroyed, either by fire and smoke, or by water. Our living room was turned into a crisis control center for an hour while the firemen and ambulance people did their job. No one was seriously hurt, and the grandmother got the kid out of harms way within minutes. Bravo!
Made me think a lot about safety though. I’m buying a fire extinguisher tomorrow. And I need a better off-site backup routine. Maybe rsync with a large hardrive at work.
Anyway, here’s a picture from later on. Happy New Year!
