Shortly after I arrived in Vancouver, I was house sitting for a friend.It was Christmas Eve and John and I were spending it together. I had the flu and went to bed early.I woke up to John shaking my shoulder and calmly saying,I don't want to alarm you but firetrucks are outside the building and smoke was billowing out of the room next to the one I was in.I bolted out of bed dressed,was at the front door and turned to see John walking into the bathroom , at the same time firemen were walking into our suite ,through the kitchen and out the window onto the fire escape to gain access to the next suite that was burning.John then calmly walked out of the bathroom , grabbed his coat and we left the building.
