Blackened Rhubarb and an apartment up in Smoke

So something happened to Jason and I that people wish to never happen to them in their life times. Ann and Abe came over and brought a rhubarb crisp. (That is not it we like ann and her rhubarb crisp) It looked great but we were leaving for a while and so we put it in the oven set on warm. When we came back about an hour and 1/2 later our fire alarm was going off and our apartment looked like it was on fire. We currently have no one living around us so no one could hear the alarm. We opened windows and clouds of smoke billowed out. What had happened was our oven dial is broken (little to our surprise, the oven really doesn't work well) so when you turn the temperature up past broil is turns past the empty space on the dial to warm. So the oven said it was on warm but really it had been on Broil for over and hour and a half. We got the smoke out with the help of a fan and some cookie sheets used to wave smoke out the windows. We sprayed everything with fabreze. And now our apartment has the faint sent of burnt toast.
