Evacuation at reservation center

[jimcfs]

Someone posted the following on FT a little while ago...

I was just on the phone with Chairmans Desk and as I was finishing up she said "I am sorry I have to rush you but we have to evacuate, there may be a fire"

Since the CP desk was mentioned, I'm assuming this to be at INT. Anyone have any details??

They might be setting up ovens in the basement of the res building to bake those "pecan pies".

No, honestly have not heard about a fire. That would be devistating!

There was a bomb threat at INT! Everyone was evacuated and no bomb was found.It was not the so called ovens or a passenger! I guess until you have to go through something like that you would just not understand! a while! So, hagn and enjoy your weekend!

Not any fun is it? At least it was a nice day to be outside.

I can remember time when we weren't evacuated... Sups, Mgrs were looking in drawers, etc. and ignoring our questions. The best evacuation was in the 90's when a manager over-cooked her popcorn in the microwave and the entire building was evacuated when the fire alarms went off..

 

[BuffaloJoe]

And Microwave Popcorn STINKS too!

The best one was back in 2005 (I think) something like a backup battery system blew up in INT and they evacuated the building for a couple of hours to get the smoke out of the building.

I was in a building in New York last year in 3 degree weather when the boiler blew and steam leaked up into the building and we were evacuated. We stood outside for about 5 minutes and they sent us home.
