The other day someone started a fire in a garbage can in the mens washroom at work. I didn't see the fire, but saw a bunch of people standing around and the security guard running in with a fire extinguisher to put it out. Today we all got a memo stating that there was strong evidence that the fire was deliberately set and police are investigating. I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't like working there!
It's a good thing it was contained, I'd hate to see what would happen if there was ever a real emergency in that place. There's been two evacuations while I've been working since I've been there. I heard once was because someone accidentally triggered the fire alarm, and once was a bomb threat. Both times they evacuated 500+ people single file through a single door. I supposed if there was actually fire and smoke visible they'd actually let us use the emergency exits, but it would still take a while to get everyone out.
