It was not a big fire , Lots of smoke though and BH wasted no time in evacuating everyone in the building in a calm manner. The store Manager's only concern was to evacuate everyone in the store. There was no concern for product or anything else as I was told to drop what I was doing and go to the street.
I asked if I could help and was told no just go to safety.
I have some DV footage of us all standing in the street somewhere.
The people at BH's first concern is you!

A few hours later after the NYC Firefighters gave the all clear and took out their fans we went back to work.

If there is a problem rest assured they will tell you but thank the great whatever that no one was hurt in either fire.

Also I Salute our Firefighters- Thanks Fella's and Gals!

Thanks!
You know just to expand having thought about this after a long time -

The Store Manager and his team really did a awesome job a and the store was empty when I left.

Customers who wanted to buy were told .. NO! Sorry there is a fire and please go outside.

No one was impeaded in anyway and I really have to swear that I had never experienced such focus on the safety of the people rather than the merchendise.
I do have a personal bias but I really think the team at BH has their prioritys straight.

Thanks General manager and Store Manager..

you do what you say and you say what you do
