It's hot out and I live in an area where you can leave your doors open at night. So I woke up to my dog crying and a strong smell of something, not sure exactly what. It wasn't gas but I thought maybe kerosene though I'm not sure I know exactly what smells like either but I do know people "camp" in our alley. So I went out to just check that none of our things were leaking or on fire and I heard a neighbor's smoke alarm going off. I walked over to their place and there were no lights on or cars in the driveway. I played fetch with my dog a bit to calm her down and the alarm never went off. So I called the non emergency police line and that lady was less than nice. She wouldn't listen to any details and just got angrier and angrier because I gave her the wrong address -i haven't lived here that long and was previously asleep and wanted to be back asleep so I guess I transposed some numbers. Anyhow all of the commotion woke my boyfriend up and then he was livid because he thinks you never should call the cops. But literally at this point their alarm had been going off for like an hour and I don't think it was fire because I didn't see smoke and I don't think it was carbon monoxide because that doesn't smell but there was a definite gas smell in the neighborhood. They came by an hour ago and the alarm is off and the smell is gone so I think that's a good thing but he's super mad about it. I honestly thought I was helping.
