Recently hired Fire Chief, Alysia Octavia, had a major mishap with her fire hose on Sunday. It is unclear what her intentions were, training or perhaps watering the plants in the nearby square, as she was also unavailable for comment after the event.
Water erupted from the hose with such force that thousands of gallons were wasted and it also damaged several local businesses. Call Me Cupcake, the local bakery, Breathless Treasures Antiques, and the AP Courthouse suffered most of the damage, while Fredrick's Restaurant had only minor water exposure. The bakery and shop were closed temporarily, but are open again and happily greeting customers.
While water was gushing from the errant hose, local lovelies, Aubrey Breister of the Zen Den Spa, and Myra Lantash of the previously mentioned Call Me Cupcake, made the best of the bad situation. The ladies frolicked in the impromptu shower, much to the delight of nearby citizens. Apparently, when life gives them lemons, these ladies make lemonade! Chief Warwick Desanto was also on the scene, but I suppose he did not see any laws being broken and decided to stay and enjoy the show.
This is the second incident of buildings in Uptown being damaged, following the fire at the AP Animal Hospital last week. The beautiful places in town seem to suffer, while the bathrooms at the Last Chance remain untouched...and I mean that literally.
