We had a fire in the girl's Transition house last night. The transition house is where the girls on campus stay when they turn 14. They learn how to cook for themselves, do their own laundry, and are learning how to live on their own so when they turn 18 they will be prepared.
Sunday night we lost power and it stayed off for about 18 hours. This is getting to be regular event on the weekends. One of the girls needed some light in the bathroom so she took a candle into the bathroom and put in the sink while she washed some clothes. Problem was she left the candle burning when she left the bathroom. Of course, teenagers in the states would never do anything like that we're sure. During the night the candle feel off the sink and into the basket of clothes below the sink. The clothes caught on fire. The fire was so hot it melted the plastic pipe running to the sink. The hole in the pipe allowed water to spray out which put out the fire. The next morning they found all this out because they heard the water leaking. Interesting.
