Which concerned him, especially considering that he had not seen Dr. Nykto since the Gala. So, despite his visual impairment, Adam had gone off in search of his work wife friend. He'd searched the usual places and then for some reason felt the pull to Level 1. It was only as the smell got stronger that he realized it was smoke that had lead him here.

FIRE!

Fire was everywhere. "Was ist das?!" He hesitated just a moment. Fire was something he was intimately familiar with. Small burns (and larger ones) speckled part of his body like freckles. After all, potions and fires went together like flowers and rain. You can't have without the other and he'd dealt with his fair share of explosions and fires in his day. But this? This was a BIG fire and he had no idea what caused it.

And then he realized that Laurel was in the room. (He's not slow folks, just blind-ish.) "Laurel!" he called pointing his wand at his face casting a bubble head charm. "Vhere can I help?" As he asked he pointed his wand and started using the extinguishing charm on the nearest flames.
It didn’t take long before Laurel was sweating from the heat of the fire. Every time she put out a fire, it felt like another ignited in its place, more vicious than before. Breathing in all this smoke wasn’t healthy, she knew, but what was she supposed to do when she was one of the few still manning the ministry? Laurel knew that Airey had put Level 9 on lock-down before he had run out of the department shouting some astronomical nonsense.

The fire was everywhere and by the time that Adam arrived like Laurel had summoned him here from below it was really getting out of control. Coughing and trying to see Adam through the smoke she called back. "Adam, we need to work together to stop the fire from spreading out into the corridor to the rest of level one." It wasn’t time for pleasantries or asking for news from the battle they had a fire to battle.

Gesturing toward the back where all the printers and faxes and shredders were burning up faster than she could say gobbeligoob Laurel said "I think the fire started there. All those muggle devices like printers, faxes, shredders and the like burn like butter with all their electronics. If we extinguish the fire there hopefully the other flames will be easier to put out." Casting a bubble head charm over her face Laurel directed her wand towards the flames as she started walking backwards casting "Aqua Eructo!" at the fires she passed.
