PORTLAND, Ore. – An overdone bagel forced the evacuation of Portland's City Hall. The Oregonian reported that City Hall emptied for about 20 minutes Wednesday morning while firefighters dealt with the burning bagel in the break room of Mayor Sam Adam's office. There's no immediate word on who burned the bagel in the toaster oven or what type of bagel it was.

City commissioners were meeting at the time and joined those who took to the sidewalks. Adams apologized for the interruption after the evacuation.

Good grief!!!!

And I thought I was a bad cook! :lol:

Wow, wonder if the smoke alarm alerted them, or if it was the burning. Well, good thing they took precautions. Better safe than sorry, but that is a funny story! People in my office are forever burning things in the toaster oven or microwave! Wouldn't surprise me if an evacuation happened in my office!
