Sarkozy Fire (Kalamazoo Mi)

   So last weekend February 24, I went to Kalamazoo Michigan to shoot a music video but what I got was way more than a music video. I arrived at my friends house around midnight. We talked and caught up for a couple of hours and I didn't lay down for bed until 4am. 5:30am come around and all of a sudden my friend yells, "Cece get up, it's a fire!" I immediately get up and just run out of the house. The fireman in the hallway is yelling, "Get your sh*t and lets go." So I naturally get my stuff. I grab my camera bag, laptop and hard drive and hurry to get out of the apartment. The apartment building is completely filled with smoke. Me, my friend and her neighbor run out of the building and go across the alley to the top of the parking structure and watch this fire. Sarkozy's bakery which was one building down from the apartment caught on fire. This was one horrible fire. The firemen were still putting out the fire at 9pm. Luckily no was hurt in this fire.
