My girlfriend rang me up about this - She works on level 28.

Apparently it was an electrical fire.

It was too serious

of course it was serious.All fires are serious.Just be thankful quick thinking people where there to put it out.If it had of been a weekend.That could have been really bad.Glad your girlfriend is ok.Must have been scary not knowing what was happening to begin with.

Doogues, large buildings like that have fire alarms AND sprinklers.. probably how the fire services were alerted to it in the first place.

If nothing else, on a weekend things would be easier - not as much concern with evacuating people and traffic..

Sorry - I meant to say the extent of the fire wasn't too serious
