I went down stairs to pay the rent a couple of days ago and the secretary was telling me that they had a fire in one of the two apartments on the end here. There are 6 apartments total. Two on each end of the building and one on the middle on the front and one on the back.
She didnt specify which one she just said one of the two men on the end had gone out and left a candle burning in their bathroom. It caught the wall on fire and someone who was coming into the office downstairs told them that they heard one of the fire alarms going off upstairs. Landlord could tell which one it was coming from when he got up here and found the candle fire. I would really expect those two men to have been more careful. One of them is a contractor and one is a cop here in town. I wouldnt have thought either was the scented candle type.
We were gone to my mother in laws that night to take her a BD card.
You just wait til I run into either of those two on the stairs. Im going to ask them which one did it. Was it the buff young cop or the big husky contractor lol.
Its bad enough worrying about the two chain smokers who live in the back apartment catching theirs on fire.

I havent run into either of them yet.
The cop is georgeous, single and has a flare for decorating. I have never seen a woman at his apartment and he has lived up here about 4 months or so. Maybe I can get Kevin his email lol.

I know how it feels to have inconsiderate neighbors ~ my neighbor across the street blares SO EXTREMELY VERY VERY LOUDLY his music, Mariachi which uses a lot of trumpets ~ sounds like a heard of elephants trumpeting ~ we have called the police many times they come out and have him turn it down~ every weekend~ then we started to go out more to avoid the music ~ WE FELT LIKE VIRTUAL PRISONERS IN OUR HOME ~ and then... his son starting driving so now we hear extreme loud very loud base that shakes our windows ~ A community action officer came over and talked to him (he has had many talk to's by officers) but for some reason my neighbor is minding this community officer and for the past 3 months it has been quiet ~ it wouldn't be so bad if he'd turn it down but he just blasts it AND he has to drink beer with his friends in the front yard never his back yard. For 5 1/2 yrs we're going nuts AND too with my son's injuries (his pelvis is all metal and other bones have plates) the loud music vibrates on him and with his nerve damage he was ready to go crazy in fact, sadly he had to move to get away from the music ~ so far: knock on wood, it's been quiet ~ Now we know why the previous owners wanted to make a deal so fast ~

So I sympathize with you ~ what helped me was prayer and common sense to NOT confront him at all

you have my sympathies, Janie....so glad I don't have ANY neighbors now lol..closest ones are bout half a mile away !
I have had some neighbors from "you know where"...before though when I lived in an apartment in town. Fires scare me...I have been in one years ago when our house caught on fire...I was in the shower at 4 am getting ready to head to work...I got my son and husband up and we got out...I ran out ...ala nude ! lol..but got a blanket before the firemen arrived.The house didn't burn down but just heavy smoke damage.

That is so awfull for you guys! My husband is blind and living across from someone like that would drive him nuts. He does everything by sound.
I hope you son is doing ok now. Some people are so rude.
