[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Building Security, Alarms, & Evacuations

[Angela Boyko]

At my workplace, we actually had a fire up in the
ceiling, and people weren't evacuated quickly because
of disorganization. It wasn't understood at the time
how bad the fire was. It wasn't a great roaring fire,
but it was a fire. Nobody was hurt, but it did cause a
lot of bad feelings. I wasn't at work that day, but I
sure heard about it.

Since then, evacuation plans and an emergency response
team has been formed. The fire alarms sometimes go
off, and when they do, we immediately leave the
building. The newer people will stand up and look
around, but the supervisors and "oldtimers" like me
immediately start telling everyone to log off the
phones and leave. All of the emergency exits are
clearly marked and kept clear.
