Fire drill! - shuttertalk - Aug 25, 2004

We just had a fire drill and had to evacuate the whole office building! Heheh... I forgot to bring my camera though, which was sitting on my desk! Doh!

I've also got hayfever now from walking around outside... nice day though

We had a fire drill recently too... Our procedure used to be to seek instruction from the fire warden and evacuate in a quick but calm fashion on hearing the alarm, but this changed recently to "stay in your seats and wait for the warden's instructions".

Would I do that in a real fire? I dunno... The rationale behind this new procedure is that we're next to an automotive paint factory, and if they have a fire, there will be lots of toxic fumes in the air, so it's safer to be inside...

Hmmm... dunno about that...

I didn't know you had nice days in Melbourne? I must have missed those while I was there.

Good thing it wasn't a real fire drill. My assembly point is about 20m away so I'm safe although behind my office wall is a large number of gas cylinders, hey at least I'd go out with a bang
