“Life just changed!”
It’s been a mixed bag of odd happenings here over the last few days. One of my client’s, a plumbing contractor here in Anchorage , had a very unfortunate accident here yesterday. One of his plumbers was working on a project soldering a pipe and his torch accidentally started a fire. The fire was in a condo complex downtown and pretty much totaled one of the buildings as the fire spread up an elevator shaft to the roof. Between the fire and water damage it was a total loss and 42 units (families) were at a total loss. (There is a video in the ADN link that shows it also.) There were no injuries and everyone was evacuated from the building. The fire started around 3:15 pm and was whipped by 25 to 40 knot winds which kept the firefighters busy trying to keep the fire contained to the one building with the hot embers being blown away from the fire site. The three alarm fire was finally brought under control around 10 pm last night with the Red Cross and Salvatio
