Fire, fire, fire

So today at work something in our building caught on fire and we had to evacuate. Actually we are told that the something was a blower in the ceiling of the 6th floor (which just happens to be the floor we are on). It smelt strange and everyone was hurrying around. Normally we would have just thought it was one of our fire drills (it seems we are the only building downtown that has them) but we just had a drill last week. Mind you, it is like 20 below outside and you are expected to leave everything and exit the building. Everyone was running around getting coats and purses.... There was even one lady going down the stairs with a box! So after being outside for about 1/2 hour we were allowed to go back inside. When we got back upstairs, there were 5-6 firemen* looking up at our ceiling. About 15 minutes later, there was another strong burning smell and of course I'm checking with everyone if we should report it because I sure the heck don't want to be stuck up there when the place starts burning. We were told it was from the heat being turned back on and it would dissipate. It finally did!

*Yeah, there were only firemen, no firewomen. That sucks ass! Where are all the hot firewomen??
