The neighbor said emergency responders worked quickly – but they did not seem panicked.
“In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here,” the neighbor told CNN.
When the emergency vehicles left the street, the neighbor said their sirens were not on.
Not OP, but I hate Mitch so much I looked up a write up.

He held up not just the supreme court nomination from Obama (and rushed one through for trump). He held up many nominations to federal judges for Obama. He waited for trump to get in and then packed the federal courts with more heritage foundation approved judges.
Personally, I hate him because one time when the federal gov shutdown over a budget under Obama. They stopped paying the military. The house passed a partial that would have the troops get paid. McConnell decided not to vote on it because Fuck Him.
All that shit he and his fellow repubs say about supporting the troops. Not one of the repubs in the Senate called him out on it. If they supported the troops they would have called him out. We still had to work. I still had to make sure me and my Marines got ready for deployment. The bills we had to pay still were due. Their kids still need to be feed. Fuck Mitch and fuck all the repubs that claim to support troops but just support the military industry complex and the kickback donations.
Don’t forget that once you’re out, the first people to screw over veterans, in any country really, are conservatives. They got their worth out of you and if you die in the streets that’s a you problem.
I couldn’t do a better write up myself. And I love that’s the “17 worst things” because… there’s… so… so much.
The thing is… from the beginning the man was a snake. Look up his early politics in his state, he jumped in to get the unions to support him, gladhanded them, shook their hands, said he supported them. Then the second he took power he immediately stabbed the unions in the back, with an attitude of it’s just a cost of doing business.
He’s the opposite side of the coin from Trump of as a man with zero scruples, but where Trump’s entire desire is to make himself richer and more powerful, McConnell was a True Believer of his world view of the Conservative Christian view, and would do anything no matter how slimy if it pushed his world view forward.
This is a good point. He had no shame being a hypocrite. He walked so trump could run. People doing evil things without shame allowed the other evil people, that normally would respond to shame, to grow more corrupt.
