My apartment was in the middle of the Oxford, Ohio, business/shopping area, over two restaurants: Bruno's Pizza and Chick-a-Lick, a fried chicken place. The building was next to a building that had a dry cleaner in its basement, and that was where the fire began. When I gpt to the building, the fire crew were working hard to stop the blaze. I parked my car infront odf my building, ran upstairs to my apartment and started to evacuate things. When I was back on the street, I ran to a pay phone, called the library, and told my boss I would not be back to work that day, and then I called my mother and asked her if she and my brother Randy could come to Oxford (20 minute drive) and evacuate. I went back to evacuating the apartment.
