Some apartment dwellers must leave their building to take out the trash while others need only walk down the hall. Either way, once you've disposed of your garbage, you may feel glad that it's gone from your apartment, but that's probably about it.
One tenant in Garland, Texas, however, must feel very fortunate that she chose to leave her building to take out the trash yesterday morning. When she returned, she discovered her apartment had caught fire. According to a report from WFAA, the freak fire destroyed her apartment and spread throughout the building, causing extensive damage.
As tragic as this incident was, the tenant's decision to leave the building at that moment simply to take out the trash appears to have saved her from serious harm.
