My work building caught fire

Post by Sophia »

So yesterday at wuater past 4, a guy walked into my office telling me that 4 metres away there was a huge fire, ofcourse i didnt beleive him till I saw the huge flames shooting out the window 8O

I freaked and acitvated our evacuation alarm and screamed at everyone, and even though my car was 10 metres away, it was all I cared about haha

Definatly was a crazy afternoon, good thing I work at channel 7 and we got great footage :P
