I was in an apartment building fire before. 3rd floor, inner stairwell.

Woke up to orange flickering on the wall. Took a moment to register. When it did, it was seeing flames lick at the 3rd floor window.

*up in a flash*

I was just staying the night at friends that night. I woke them up *FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!*

Husband, wife and infant.

Went into that stairwell and it was nothing but black smoke. First time in my life I experienced disorientation from smoke and it was immediate. I couldnt tell if I was going up or down and used my hands.

Pounded on every single door. 5 other apartments. I was desperate to wake up as many people as I could. No one came to their doors and ultimately, I had to give up.

The three of us made it outside. No shoes, no coats, just us shivering in the winter cold, exceptall the other people in the building were already outside. And they had shoes and coats on. They left us.

My anger was severe and lasted a few years.

Entire building went down. Started when someone cooking had a frying pan catch fire, so they threw it outside. They made it out first, I would assume.
