Haunt Tour 2012 Day 2
Phobia Haunted Houses - Houston Texas
Fire. A small electrical fire broke out tonight while I was in the Exile: Zombie Apocalypse. It was late and I was the last and only patron in the venue. As I came around a corner one of the actors broke character and told me to back away. There was acrid smoke in the air followed by the rolling cloud of a fire extinguisher blast. Actors were calling for supervisors. Another actor with his face covered against the smoke told me that tonight was his second night and this was serious shit that he'd never seen before.
The actor that told me to back off came back to me and calmly said he was going to lead me out of the attraction. He said there had been sparks and flames from some of the wiring. We calmly cut through some of the display areas and left the venue. I looked for and never saw a lighted exit sign.
The actor walked up to two guys that seemed to be charge and explained the situation. One said he'd check and he entered the attraction. The other guy just stood there. Nobody reacted with any sense of urgency. At no time did the emergency lighting come on.
Really it was just a short with some burned insulation. Luckily it did not spread, and the attraction was practically empty.

Wow! Were you by chance filming any of it? Glad the one guy was professional and you got out okay.
