burned out shell of the neighbor's kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Edna, our house helper was the first to notice the smoke coming up from the neighbor’s house.\u00a0 She alerted our day guard Emmanuel, who went next door to investigate.\u00a0 The fire started in a cook house which is made of wood.\u00a0\u00a0It also\u00a0reached the next room,\u00a0a single\u00a0small room rented by a student.\u00a0\u00a0Many of his belongings were saved, but he did lose important documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Clean Up: removing damaged roof; left window is where fire started; right window is student's studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The neighbors had used their precious buckets of water (apparently they do not\u00a0have city water hooked up to their house), and our garden hose reached over the wall into their compound.\u00a0 So Emmanuel helped them put the fire out with our garden hose, peeling back pieces of metal roofing to get water into the rooms from above.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"far<\/a>
far left window is where fire started; house on the right is duplex in our compound<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thankfully, they were able to put the fire out before flames reached to our\u00a0compound.\u00a0 The duplex behind our house is just a\u00a0few feet from the\u00a0burning structure.\u00a0 Also thankfully, no one was in the building, so no one was hurt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later, all they asked for was more water to replace the buckets they’d used to put the fire out, and in exchange they let me take some pictures.\u00a0 I stayed until discussion of how the fire started got .. heated (pardon the pun).\u00a0 Some say children had been cooking beans over an open fire on the wood floor; others, seeing the bulk of fire damage high on the wall and ceiling argued it was started by faulty wiring.\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 The fire dept. arrived after it was put out and didn’t do an investigation.<\/p>\n
