I was chilling at home playing some Dynasty Warriors 7, when I hear my mom yelling upstairs. I quickly go up to see whats going on and she tells me that next door theres a fire!

I run out and find around 5-6 guys pumping water from their hoses down to the basement of the house next door and throwing buckets of water down there, including my dad who was trying to help out. An electrical fire started down there because there were a lot of loose wires all mangled together and somehow it caught on fire. I started helping my dad get buckets of water next door and we did that for about 5 minutes back and forth, but the fire wasn’t letting up at all. The fumes were absolutely horrendous and my dad, who is an electronic engineer told me that the white fumes are worse than being actually burned. We covered our mouths up and tried to block it out as much as possible while still trying to help. 

My mom let in the women and children from next door into our house for their safety. Luckily, no one was injured and no one inhaled too many fumes. 

It took the fire department around 10-15 minutes to arrive, and when they did they managed to put out the fire within 5 minutes. 

Pretty crazy morning. Just glad no one got hurt. Here’s some more pictures:
