There are about six firemen outside my door.

I was watching TV when I heard a lot of voices outside my door. Investigating, I discovered six firemen at the door across the hall and one down; they were just about to break through the door. The smoke alarm was going off, but in this building, with good sound insulation, it's actually pretty hard to hear smoke alarms in other apartments.

Once they opened the door, a lot of smoke poured out, but there was no fire. They went in, opened windows to ventilate, and apparently there were people inside but everyone is okay. That's all I could tell; no idea whether the people were asleep or something else.
