aww Laura, Im so sorry. That must have been really scary!

I sorta know how you feal.. We live in a townhouse and our old neighbours were just brats. The littlest one, who was about 6 at the time found his mothers lighter (she was a heavy smoker) and he lit her curtains on fire in her bedroom. Even sadder they had 6 birds, 4 cats, and a 12 week old puppy (collie mix).. Well the little brat lit his moms curtains and fire and ran out of the house. It took the fire department a while to get there to.. and THEY ARE ABOUT 2 MINUTES AWAY!!! All I can remember is my dad running in the house and running out with animals. After 2 other men ran in and started bring out the animals. Only one never got brought out.. it was their puppy, he was under the bed and he lost his life in the fire he never had a chance. Its scary to hear the breaking glass and cracking of the fire, its even worse to the that your neighbours house is on fire.. and your house is ATTACHED! The day after the fire my mom called Animal Control (some neighbours took in some animals, we took in a cat) and we ended up bringing the animals to the shelter, to find a better home. We would have adopted the cat, but my mom is very allergic.

I feal horrible for your neighbours.. I can't imagine what you were going through. I will be keeping them in my thoughts.
