ABC 7 Chicago
A customer at a New York Dunkin Donuts saved the day when she noticed the shop’s industrial toaster had caught on fire and promptly asked the staff for a fire extinguisher to put it out.
Footage captured by Cristina Conklin shows her reaction to the fire growing on top of the toaster and beginning to touch the ceiling as staff members walked past it.
“Apparently there’s a very not serious fire in Dunkin right now,” Conklin says sarcastically in the footage. “Nobody seems to care.”
Conklin then pans the camera over to the rest of the seemingly unconcerned employees.
Eventually one employee attempts to put out by waving the end of a plastic broom over it.
“Do you have a fire extinguisher? Do you know where it is?” Conklin can be heard asking the employees. “Do you guys have a manager you can call?”
Eventually an employee grabs Conklin the fire extinguisher and she sets down her camera to teach the staff how to use it.
Once the fire was put out Conklin could be heard said, “you’re gonna have to call the fire department.”
“I saw a fire with 3 teens not knowing what to do at Dunkin when I went to get my coffee,” Conklin told Storyful, “ and I helped them put it out with a fire extinguisher!”
“I lost a nail but I’m good,” Conklin says to the camera at the end of the ordeal. “Everybody is safe.”
