A fire broke out near my hospital today. It was about noon. My hospital is located in the heart of the city and the streets were heavily packed with business people going out for lunch. The fire occurred in a building that was being pulled down, so the damage was not so much, I think. The building is at the busiest corner in the city. There is the headquarters of the main local bank and the branch of the Japan National Bank at the opposite side of the corner. This intersection was locked for a couple of hours. It was like a scene from a movie. It was the first time I had seen an aerial ladder truck actually working. A firefighter was on the top of the ladder, at about the 8th-10th floor level. I'm scared of heights. I admired him.
