Just a small one, but as it's bucketing down outside. But there's a small fire in the basement. I heard the security in the lift talking about it when I was going up.

Yes, they got the UP lift.
I'm confused. You heard there was definitely a small fire, but you only think the building might be on fire?
Hopefully, it'll be taken care of quickly.
I was in a building with a fire once! Someone set fire to a bulletin board directly across from my room. I slept through the fire alarm and got cursed at by an angry firefighter who found me asleep in my bed when he opened up my room to use the water from my sink.

Careful. The fire might be trying to lull you into a false sense of security.

There was a fire in one of our elevators the other day. That hallway smelled weird for a while, but no one was hurt.

First the chainsaw, now the fire... Where do you live, Katana?

I used to work in a major shopping centre ("mall", Americans), and I was arriving for an afternoon shift when two security guards RAN by me, one screaming into his radio "FIRE FIRE FIRE!" - they then skidded to a walk as we were approaching an area frequented by customers, whereupon they carried on at a quick stroll.
"So should I start to evacuate my shop, then?"
"Why?"
"... because of the fire"
"There's no fire"
*guards exchange meaningful glances*
"... okay"
(I closed and evacuated my shop anyway, and was part-way through leaving when the centre fire alarm sounded...)

Reason: I cannot spell
If you think the building is on fire, I usually think the best thing to do is check. So I recommend you do that.

Wow, when there was a mattress fire on the first floor they got us all out out lickety split double time, despite it being almost 2AM. Luckily for me I am a bit of a night owl, but less fun for those needed to get up early.

Well, it sounds like things are under control, but seriously, fire is one of those things that can go from "Oh, we got this." to "HOLY %^$&*#@&%$ WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" in a matter of seconds, so really, you should have at the very least gone to a place where it would be easy to leave the building immediately if their assessment of the situation was less than correct.
Well, we weren't evacuated. I assume the fire was dealt with.
Maybe the fire is just hiding... waiting for you to lower your guard...!

Anyway when I saw the name of this thread I laughed. A guy's building is on fire and the first thing he does is post it on the internet
There's an image of a sign in a building (that my google-fu is too weak to find) that says, "In case of fire, evacuate the building THEN tweet about it."
"Dear Sir stroke Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire which has broken out at the premises of..." no, that's too formal.
[deletes]
"Dear Sir stroke Madam. Fire, exclamation mark. Fire, exclamation mark. Help me, exclamation mark. 123 Carrendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best, Maurice Moss."
(and if that wasn't an IT Crowd reference, it should have been)
