Forums General Chit-Chat Evacuated from the Building at Work Today

Donator — She/her Posted 5 years ago ( 2018/12/5 01:56:49 )

Yeah. There was about an hour+ left of work today when a maintenance guy comes to my office (which is on the 3rd floor of the building) and tells everyone that we need to leave. There was a small electrical fire and the building is filling with carbon monoxide.
Everyone in my offices leaves down the stairs as quickly as possible and on the ground floor there was a lot of smoke. I'm ok and everyone in the building was ok.
The fire department came and I don't know how long they were there. About 20 mins after I left the building I was told I could go home for the day because there was no way we would be allowed back in in an hour. I don't know if the building will be ok tomorrow because of the carbon monoxide. The HVAC unit was getting worked on today when the fire happened, so it's not like they can have that filter the air in the building.

@xirin: Yeah it could have been really bad, but luckily everyone was ok. But then I thought, what if you were in the middle of pooping when that happened?

Here in the darkness I know myself

I’m glad you and everyone are okay!
I couldn’t imagine how being evacuated like that feels.
Can’t break free until I let it go.
Let me go..

@Lithium: Thank you. I take things like that seriously but I don't worry too much. I'm just glad that I took my phone and wallet before I left.

Being in high school and class getting out mid test er something due to the drill and being filled with hope outside that you don't have to go back. XD

I am extremely glad that your company cared enough to get everything done in a timely manner, that's so great!! I also love how all the people in your workplace had enough common sense and "emotion" to get out of there (almost) correctly, hahaha.
