HUGE FIRE at Queen of Poop's Condo

[Pinot's Mom]

I got voice mail from QoP's phone - I'll post if I hear anything...

The fire started on the roof. No reason known yet. The weather has been cool and quite windy, but no storms or anything.

The building codes in Calgary are interesting.

Because of the demand for development and money, the former 3-storey limit on wood frame buildings was raised to 5.



Which this is.

We had a similar horrid fire in Erlton several years ago - the place was still under construction.

You'd think the City would learn....

Tell Gayle we are thinking of her! She'll be in our prayers.

Copied from General:

She was just in touch...hopefully will be in in about 20 minutes, and tend to kitties, and then post on here. She is ok, but will be having a huge cry when she gets in. Can just imagine holding it together since 2 pm or so...she was so glad to hear about all the thoughts and wishes for her on PT.

So scary I am so happy her and the furkids are okay.

11:04 pm MST - Gayle says they are going home, but it will take some time as they are escorting each unit's occupants individually.

She said she would check in here once she is settled...I am falling asleep at the keyboard here and have to go.

I think she will be so glad to see PT was thinking of her.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad that her unit wasn't affected and that her kitties are safe. Gayle, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
