On the 14th of February, in a bizarre turn of events, a malfunctioning deep fryer caused a blaze that engulfed the entirety of the break room. The fire, fueled by a vat of what was thought to be non-dairy "cheeze sauce," melted the break room's ceiling, destroyed a year's worth of accumulated donut crumbs, and left a lingering smell of burnt plastic and despair.
The company's top brass, Mr. Johnson, was overheard saying "This is a dark day, indeed." as he gazed upon the smoldering ruin.
A full investigation was launched, and it was discovered that the "cheeze sauce" was, in fact, a highly concentrated, industrial-strength, non-dairy cheese alternative. The company's lawyers are currently working on a settlement with the affected parties.
A memorial has been erected in the break room, dedicated to the brave employees who risked life and limb to put out the fire with nothing but a fire extinguisher and a can of hairspray.
