I go to Maine for a few days and everything breaks loose. First of all, a fire in a big house tonight at 5910 Park Lane — just off Preston and a hop from the Fred Baron estate. Source at the scene told me the homeowner called the fire department, they put her on hold for FIVE MINUTES:
“HELLO, FIRE DEPARTMENT, MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, COME QUICK!”
F.D: “CAN YOU HOLD PLEASE? (muzak muzak).”
Sorry about no posts from Maine — pretty remote, no Starbucks. And it appears that every home in the state is for sale. (Want waterfront? Be prepared to unload at least $2 million.)
Update: The house fire was at the McBee home.
