While some stood in shock, one store employee ran to the escalator and hit a button on its side, shutting it off. Another woman began asking if anyone had been on the escalator when the debris fell. When the answer came back that no one had been there, employees began calling for everyone to leave the store. "I thought that was a really good reaction," said Vinall-Cox. "It was really exciting in a strange way." The Oakville Fire Department reported no one was injured. Deputy Fire Chief Andy Glynn said a section of drywall and drop ceiling (non-structural, secondary ceiling hung below the main ceiling) -- about 10 foot by 3 foot in size -- toppled on the escalator. "They're further assessing the structure stability, but we believe at this point it hasn't affected the structure of the building," said Glynn. "They've shut down hydro and the store will remain closed for a period of time." Glynn said a structural engineer was called to the scene to carry out the assessment.
