HUGE FIRE at Queen of Poop's Condo

**Catty1** · 03-18-2010, 08:55 PM

No one hurt. A number of pets were saved by police and firefighters. QOP said her side was unaffected, but her cats are inside. No power or water. She texted me and said she will know in an hour if she can go home.

She wants to be back inside with Cali and Diego...and needs a lot of Kleenex. I asked where she was, and she said it was too far for me to drive.

She is contacting one friend, and I told her to contact me if the friend wouldn't show, and I would come down there.

She hasn't eaten; with her digestive condition, the food there would make her horrendously ill. She is terrified...wants her kitties, needs tons of Kleenex.

I am so sorry to hear this.

I will definitely kepe her in my thoughts.

Oh, my goodness. This she definitely doesn't need. I hope she can get in, get Cali and Diego out, and find somewhere safe to stay. Big, big prayers for Q of P!

And a candle

How awful.

Prayers headed out to Gayle. Hopefully she'll be back with her kittys soon.

OMG NO!! I am in tears. All I can do is send moral support from over here in California.

I am glad her and the kitties are okay and I hope they will be reunited soon.

She said her side is not affected...but no one was allowed to bring their pets with them. She wants to go home, be with her kitties, and have the power and water working.

Pinot's Mom and her hubby were up here visiting recently and we all got together. I PM'd her and she is going to call Gayle.

Many pets were rescued. Prayers that all are fine.

Geez, I'm glad the fire never made it to QOP's.
Do they know yet how it started ???

**Pinot's Mom** · 03-18-2010, 09:51 PM

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....
