It had been the microwave. Someone in the office park had confused 'microwave safe' with 'under no circumstances should you,' and by the time they'd wandered back into the break room the cabinets were on fire. Everything was fine; the ladder had gotten there quickly, they'd managed to contain the blaze to two units on the far end of the office park, and there were no serious injuries. Unfortunately, because the units were all in the same larger building, everyone had been forced to evacuate. It was a little warm, with highs in the eighties, but many of the firefighters had come back out and it looked as if the all-clear would be given at any time. Across the lot, a handful of people from the affected office were being checked over for smoke inhalation. Some of the fire personnel were packing up equipment, while the captain - Steve - had a chat with some of the tenants about safety issues with the building. "--doesn't seem to have been damage to any load-bearing walls," Steve was saying, "and I think it's structurally sound. You are going to need to air it out." Thanks were said. The tenant with the worst of the damage got on their cell phone to start making calls. That left Steve a minute to breathe, turn, and survey his fire crew and the assorted displaced workers who'd been forced out into the afternoon California sun. |
