00:06 So Margie, can you tell me what happened last night?

00:10 >> So around 9 to 10, we heard someone is still

00:14 working on the store on the ground, on the Lardon Fried Chicken.

00:20 And we are on the third floor and we're already sleeping.

00:26 And then I smell some smoke and then I woke up.

00:33 And then I heard the smoke alarm and

00:37 then I woke up my husband and I asked him to check.

00:42 And then he said that, get all your documents now cuz there's a fire below.

00:51 And then so we get our stuff and then we go down and

00:55 we cannot see any because it's all smoke going down.

01:00 So we can't go down here but

01:05 we are on the back of the second floor balcony.

01:12 So we stayed there and then we called the emergency and that's it.

01:18 >> And they came very quickly.

01:19 >> Yeah.

01:21 >> That must have been a very scary time.

01:25 How did you get out?

01:26 Did you have to figure your way out?

01:27 Did the firefighters help you out?

01:29 >> The firefighters helped us out.

01:31 >> Yes, and were you stuck on the balcony?

01:33 >> Yes, we're stuck on the second floor balcony.

01:36 >> Right, and were there a lot of flames?

01:39 >> We cannot see it because we only see the smoke.

01:45 >> But was the smoke so thick that it- >> Yes, it's so thick.

01:49 It's so thick, yeah.

01:51 We cannot see anything.

01:53 >> That must have been very scary to navigate an escape route.

02:00 >> And so how do you feel now?

02:03 I mean, are you okay?

02:05 >> Yeah, we're okay now.

02:08 >> You sounded as if you were coughing earlier.

02:11 >> Yeah, I'm still coughing.

02:12 Still coughing.

02:14 >> How do you feel now living there?

02:16 Do you feel a bit nervous?

02:18 >> Yeah, we're going to our agent now and

02:22 we'll ask what will be the arrangement because we don't-

02:25 because the firefighter yesterday said that it's not safe anymore to live in there.

02:30 So I will talk to our agent now to arrange something.

02:37 >> And I'm sure you were very scared.

02:39 >> Yes, yeah, and we don't have any families here, so I'm scared.

02:44 >> And have you lost much in the damage?

02:49 >> No, not actually.

02:50 >> Not too bad.

02:51 >> Not too much, yeah.
