Helicopter

Does anyone know why there has been a helicopter hovering over Porter/Davis for the last few hours?

I walked past the fire site an hour ago. It was on Pearson, close to Boston Av. A standard two-family, with the third floor burned completely away and the first and second floors looking entirely blackened. No damage to the neighboring houses.

The entire house was covered with icicles.

A photographer leaving the scene told me that there were no injuries.

Thanks for posting that. It's nice to know that no one was hurt. And it's also nice to know that none of my friends are newly homeless.

That's good to know that no one was hurt.

I'm still confused about the helicopter, though.

Ah, of course. Thanks.

Thanks! We were really curious and worried.

Wow. That's, um, my street.

Thanks for letting us know. Yikes.

Was it close enough to have an effect on your place?

[identity profile] tikva.livejournal.com 2004-01-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...actually, I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't read this. Other end of the street, and I shivered my way right home without looking around.

No, wait, that's not true. We were having problems with our water earlier today. I wonder if there was some sort of damage to the local water system?

If it was a fire, they may have been using hoses. That might have affected the water pressure.

mine too! i just got home about 1/2 hour ago from New York. when I left yesterday, the most info I had was the post on here that it was on Kidder. when I walked home tonight from Davis, I was on the phone with my mom, telling her about it, and I saw all this ice at the corner of Pearson and Kidder so I looked around, but didn't see anything...it must be further up from my place. I'm tempted to go brave the cold and see what it looks like.
