You’re right that it’s probably easier (and more reliable) to call the city’s emergency number. At that time, I knew that the Twitter account existed and had nearly-realtime emergency updates which is why I chose to check there. I’ll check the city’s website now to bookmark it for later - thanks for that idea :)

I wasn’t ragging on you, that was just how I was thinking of it. I know it’s easy to think “outside of the box” when your mind is racing. Checking Twitter ain’t nothing, check this out:

I woke up from a nap and my apt was burning down around me. My downstairs neighbor started an electrical fire while he was out of the house. The flames were shoulder high. My brilliant mind ran into the kitchen, past the fire extinguisher, and grabbed a pot off the stove to fill it with water.

Thinking out side the box in an emergency lol
