There another letter I received, I read and laughed. Dear residents, A small fire occurred at around 10:00 am on 4 Jan 2003 in the student lounge on 1/F where an absolutely irresponsible person left some sweet potatoes roasting unattended in the microwave oven. The sweet potates caught fire inside the microwave, burned the plate holding them and filled the entire student lounge with dense smoke. Fortunately, the lounge was equipped with a smoke detector and it sent signal to our control panel as well as the one in the Security Office; thus, preventing the fire to become an uncontrollable hazard. The person who did this never identified himself/herself. I would like to take this opportunity to remind all of you that if you have never used a microwave oven before or if you are not sure what can go into the microwave, please read the operation instructions attached on the microwaves or do not bother to ask other users or even our staff before turning it on. Precautions should always be taken when operating electrical appliances; always bear in mind that in case accidents occur, it do not just affect your ownself, but the lives of at least 200 people residing and working in the premises. In addition, in case any resident spot another person misusing any electrical appliances, do not hesitate to contact our Service Counter immediately. Thank you for your attention and co-operation.
