electrical fire at work. had to open up again π
Was just getting off of my break when I heard my manager over the intercom saying everyone needs to evacuate. Grabbed my stuff and ran up to front, there was a bunch of black smoke coming out of one of the vents. Had to go out and wait in the parking lot while we called the fire department. They were here for about a half hour, told us the air conditioner caught fire, they got it calmed down and a guy is coming to fix it later apparently. Department said it was safe to be in the building but it would smell like smoke for awhile. Store manager called the district manager and of course she says to open the store up again. Entire place smells like smoke, especially the front where the cashiers have to stand. π« not only that but it's 90 degrees out and we don't have ac. Luckily my shift was almost over but they expect my coworkers to just continue with the day like nothing happened? Tf? I dont think it's safe to inhale electrical fumes for an extended period of time but what do I know I guess. π
