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.
01:59
>> Yeah.
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.
02:53
>> So how do you feel now?
02:57
How do you feel now?
02:58
>> Yes, feeling better.
02:59
>> Feeling better, yeah.
03:04
How old are you, Tebow?
03:06
>> I'm 29 years old.
03:07
>> 29.
03:08
Aw, sweetheart.
03:10
Have you been here long?
03:12
>> One, almost one year.
03:13
>> One year?
03:13
>> Yeah.
03:14
>> That's not a good experience for your first year.
03:16
>> Yes.
03:17
>> Do you work here locally?
03:18
>> Yeah.
