We just had a fire drill about 30 minutes ago, nice sunny day for it as with all our fire drills as obviously a real fire will wait for a nice day.

I used to love fire drills at school, always hoping it was in a crap lesson and not at the start of PE when we were getting changed.

I used to be fire marshall-person at work... everyone congregated in the doorways during drills, so I had to gesticulate (oo'er) and shout "Move away from the building.... move away from the building" etc etc

I get to set the fire alarms off. Then the entire ships crew dress up as firemen (including breathing apparatus) and pretend to put it out.
At home I use the smoke alarm to inform the family that the evening meal is now cooked.

I volunteered to be a fire marshall at Kings Manor - I was most annoyed not to be issued with a hatchet and a helmet and a hi-vis vest.
We had one rather obnoxious person in our office, and when I asked the dept secretary what I should do if she (the annoying person) refused to evacuate promptly (something I thought likely), the responce was 'let her burn....'
It was worth volunteering to be shown the official fire escape route for the attic in the event of a fire blocking the normal exit stairs - up a little flight of steps, to a 3/4 height door in the wall, along a plank walkway through an empty attic, through a half sized door at the other end, out onto a gable end, along a gutter walkway and in through a door to another part of the building and down a flight of steps that I'd never been up, but often seen from the bottom, and didn't know where they went. Hogwarts was nothing compared to that place.

I was staying somewhere once when the Fire Alarm went off while I was in the shower. It was an old place and the showers were not in the rooms but along the corridor.
Do you know how cold you get standing outside a building in November at approx 7pm on a very cold evening, when you are very wet from a shower, and you are just holding a very small towel(which is not big enough to dry yourself and keep covered up)?
And can you imagine the comments from the other people staying there?
