False Alarm

So much for getting an early nights sleep, just drifting off and the fire-alarm sounded. False alarm so no need to worry!

Buildings like the one I’m in have come under flack recently due to the fact they’ve been built with only one emergency stairwell. However, after today I’m pretty reassured. The fire-alarm consists of an automated voice telling you where the fire-alarm has been triggered, the best course of action (actually tells you to stay put if you prefer in some cases), and that the fire service is on it’s way. All rooms are fitted with spinkler systems, firedoors and windows which open automatically in case of smoke/fire

By the time I had walked down 16 floors, three fire engines had arrived. Not bad going. Sorry about the photos being blurred, half asleep when I took them…

Good to see you got out allright – did Steve McQueen , Fire chief extraordinaire arrive to save the day? Photos were hot stuff.
