lived in that building last year, dodgy wiring was a known issue. not surprised at all

Mia Carter2026-06-17T08:54:52.000Z

another night ruined by sirens... glad no one was hurt though

Blake Turner2026-06-17T09:08:52.000Z

lol you reckon they'll fix the wiring? nah they'll just paint over it

Reagan Shaw2026-06-17T09:03:52.000Z

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T09:53:52.000Z

facts, landlords are parasites. last place had a fire alarm that didn't even work

Cameron Diaz2026-06-17T09:17:52.000Z

classic Wellington weather and fires don't mix. stay safe everyone

Eva Anderson2026-06-17T10:07:52.000Z
