    Pls tell me you are pulling my leg! No outdoor cooking cuz of air pollution? Whats next? Are thet going to confiscate my stove at home? I guess my furnace is next since we use heating oil. that stuffs burns pretty nasty. Are they trying to throw us back to the Stone Age? WTH???
    Sorry off-topic.
    Does anyone know what started the fire really?
    Maybe it was one of those unauthorized inverters the company warned us about?

    Management probly wants you to spend your hard earned $$ in thier **** so called resturants.
    And i'm thinking something about the polltion, and the fumes the grills emit.

    Probably has more to do with the drivers throwing out their still burning charcoal and starting fires.

    as a driver and a volunteer firefighter all I can say is wow and the FD needed to bring the 2.5 inch hose out and leave the small 1.5 inch on the truck

    Sadly, The reason we can't grille in the lot anymore is because a while back a bunch of guys were grilling in the back row and were drinking and throwing their trash on the ground. The manager asked a security guard to go out and ask them not to throw their trash on the ground and to also remind them that they're not supposed to be drinking on the lot.

    While he was back there one of the guys started to beat the security guard and then a couple more piled on and he (The security guard) wound up in the hospital with pretty bad injuries! So now because of idiots in our own industry we are not allowed to grille on the lot anymore...

    As usual, It's our own fault!
