Fire Alarm Going Off At Mum's Work

not since like January, when I got run out of a branch of the local public library because someone burned microwave popcorn...

All people were the victim of a false alarm except from the policemen.Didn't the policemen who set off false alarm bear the blame?After the accident,the policemen sat there eating their burnt toast as if nothing had happened.Was there the double standard about carrying out rule?

Funnily enough i was called into work twice last night to deal with false alarms. The Fire Brigade think that an insect got into a sensor. I am the primary keyholder so i had to go. It's two miles each way. I went in at 12.15 and again at 1.40. All is well now but i am quite tired. We had 24 people sleeping there last night and despite a fire engine, flashing lights and fireman everywhere, not a soul was disturbed. That's what worried me the most. The alarms went off at the control centre but not in the home itself. We got advice from the engineers this morning and then I was able to enjoy my day off. We went to Stonehenge and then to Jane Austen's house.

I imagine a certain number of police have to remain in the building to cover emergencies, unless it's falling down around their ears. It seems a bit unfair though, they could at least have handed out toast to make up for it! A place i was staying for a course recently had a fire sensor right above where their tractor was parked, and every time the alarm went off it was because someone had started up the tractor.

Back in December when my boyfriend and I were in TN with one of his shows for two months, we stayed in one of the post graduate dorms. One morning at 4am the entire dorm alarms went off which of course woke us up. Well being 4am and me in a nighty was not a good thing and it was chilly. lol Anyways I grabbed some PJ bottoms and my coat and out the door we all went, no chance to get keys because we were hearing pounding on all doors that we had to get out. So while we stood outside for 1 hour 30 minutes in the cold they finally came out to tell us one of the residents was making breakfast and fell asleep. Luckily the building is well monitored it set off the alarm so quick and the firemen came quickly enough where it was only a fire stove burning and not a full room. I can sympathize with your mum because I too was outside so cold wondering what was the deal, though it did not appear to be a major fire of any sort. So maybe they stayed and had breakfast there too.
