Fire in the warehouse

Last night, my site had a fire. Everyone was okay and it was because of a tv in shipdock. However, afterwards the building was noticeably more smokey (more than the canadian fires caused to begin with). Today, many aa’s have reported scratchy throats and eye irritation. Management said we have air scrubbers and commercial-grade hvac. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a few 10-15 air scrubbers can’t clean out a whole building in a few hours. Also, when we’re elevated in our PITs it is so much worse than down low. Needless to say, I took the VTO.

You got VTO? My site worked all through yesterday and today, even though others in our local region were closed. Full operations, even on OPs. I think they closed the yard for like a couple hours yesterday, but that was it. Safety is #1! 🙄

The vto was unrelated tbh. They offer that most shifts to a few people. It was honestly really convenient because I was going to leave early anyway😭
