Red Alert!

OK, this is just weird! Today I have been evacuated from the building I was in - - - TWICE! Two buildings, two fires, two parking lots and SIX fire trucks. I'm afraid to go home.

First fire was at work. I was waiting on a customer and the fire alarms go off. Noise and flashing lights. We decided it was a false alarm or maybe they were testing the system. Then they called on the intercom, in a very stern, no nonsense voice. Attention customers: Please make your way to the front of the store and out the front doors. This was repeated three times. Then it was Attention associates: Please make your way to the front of the store and outside the building. Four fire trucks. It turned out that the meat department wall caught on fire. They were quick to deal with it and calling 911 so it was contained very quickly. Fun.

Now I'm sitting in the parking lot of a restaurant where I was getting something to go. Electrical fire in the wall. Evacuation and two fire trucks. At least this time I had my car key and was able to sit in the car. The sun was melting me during the first evacuation.

Sounds to me like someone in the Meat Dept. had a Mama Mia song stuck in his head and couldn't take it anymore. :)
