Today, I woke up to the sounds of fire alarms. Panicked and assuming it was my neighbor's gas furnace that set it off, I nearly broke their baby's bedroom window trying to wake them up. Turns out my roof leaked into the fire alarm, causing an electrical fire. It was my first day here. FML

OP here. I wanted to add that this all happened at 3AM during a thunderstorm. The neighbors didn't answer their door until the firefighters knocked. The fire didn't start until they were already here, so there was no smoke at first. The storm blew loose shingles off in 1 place- over the alarm.

Well, you can't really be blamed for this because you were only doing what you thought was right and it was really nice of you.

It was your first day, they can't blame you for trying to help.

You can say "FML" about this, but you're a good person. I'd take you as my neighbor any day.

how did you know your neighbors have a gas furnace if you just moved in?
