Fire at Berlaymont – False one in Lux

“Cushion jobs” in Brussels (at least that’s what Flossie thinks) have their bad moments too. The main Commission building in Brussels was evacuated a couple of hours ago after a fire broke out in the basement. According to some press reports the fire broke out in the press rooms. La Stampa reports a strong smell of plastic in the air.

Funnily enough, at around the same time the fire is said to have broken out (13.05) I was having lunch at the ECJ restaurant when the fire alarm went off. After around 10 minutes of an irritating alarm noise that threatened to ruin my very enjoyable “salmon au sauce de sesame pour le travail coussin” we were informed that it was a false alarm.

Not for the Commission employees in Brussels though.
