At around eleven last night (give or take, I was asleep when it happened), an apartment on the top floor of 99 Lafayette, between South Portland and South Oxford, caught fire or suffered an explosion. I was awoken by the windows shattering. The firepeople proceeded to break the rest of the windows and then shoot the firehouse out of them. They never turned on any lights, which suggests a gas leak (or a meth lab), right? At any rate, it didn’t seem to be a typical fire.
It also didn’t seem like there was anyone in the apartment when the accident happened.
Anyone got the scoop?
