Yesterday, while I was at work, I was in the bathroom, and I smelled something burning. I figured somebody had just burned something in the microwave AGAIN, but the smell was pretty strong, and when I emerged, I was told to vacate, because the building was on fire!! I walked around the corner and saw smoke pouring from the vents in the ceiling. We all went outside and watched from the parking lot as 4 fire trucks and an ambulance arrived within 3 minutes of the call going out (Way to go LVFD! - We were all impressed). They went inside and determined that one of the air conditioning units in the ceiling had caught on fire, and they promptly put it out. Nobody was hurt, and there was no damage to the building - which is just about the best possible outcome for a fire.
The kicker was that just the day before someone had been at the office doing "preventative maintenance" on the air conditioning units. About half an hour after the start of the fire, the air conditioning repair man arrived, causing a fair amount of laughter among our group.
About 7 hours later, when I got home, I could still smell smoke in my hair!
Here are some pictures from the view in the parking lot...
The air conditioning man arrives!
