We’re back from Nevada and I need to go through my photos. When we arrived home, our neighbor was outside. We never really talk to him so I was kind of surprised when we got out of our cab and he said “Hey, do you guys live in the coach house? Did your landlord get in contact with you?” We said she hadn’t and he said that someone “torched” the garage across the alley from us and that our place got some damage. It seems like all of our stuff is ok, and that the back stairs are still sound, but our siding is all melted off. Must have been a really hot fire. The house across the alley is just in the end stages of being built. No one lives there yet, so I doubt anyone was injured in the fire. I called our landladies and they said it happened late on Thanksgiving night. Good thing the garage is made of brick. It seems to have contained the fire, although there were building supplies and a truck inside. I wonder how the fire started.
