Fire with happy ending

Fire with happy ending


Hi everyone!

In my internship I worked at the front desk of the hotel Ibis in Bregenz as a receptionist. In my first workweek I couldn’t do much stuff on my own because the programs which are in use weren’t that simple for beginners like me.

Juliana was working in the back office and all the other colleagues were on an advanced training. One of the guests wanted to take his suitcases out of the suitcase-room. I went to open the door of the room and the only thing I could see was a lot of dark grey smoke. I closed the door as quick as I could do. I told Elisabeth about the smoke in the room. She was shocked and called the fire brigade immediately. The fire brigade ordered us to evacuate the whole hotel to guarantee the security of all our guests. Some minutes later the police arrived with 5 cars and the fire brigade with 3 big fire engines. I had to stay in front of the hotel and had to calm down our guests. In the end it wasn’t as dramatic as we thought in the first moments. It was only something defect in the underfloor heating, nobody got injured and after a few hours the smell of the smoke was also evaporated.

I hope you all had a great internship as well.

Laura
