McDonald's apologizes for not serving complimentary teas and coffees to exhausted firefighters after social media outrage
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service rushed to York's Clifton Moor retail park on Saturday afternoon after a fire broke out.
Firefighters were refused free coffees or teas at a McDonald's branch after they tackled a huge blaze at a retail park, resulting in a severe backlash online. A raging fire at home store B&M at the Clifton Moor Centre in York caused dozens of firemen to respond to the scene. The firefighters had to work in shifts to put out the flames, which lasted for a while. Some of them had time for a refreshment break during the ordeal.
The fire rescue teams needed 10 pumps, two aerial ladder platforms, and two water bowsers to get the immense blaze under control. The flames created difficult driving conditions, The Sun reports.
