CurvedSpace Forums: National Fire drill day - CurvedSpace Forums

Well, if you are attending a public school in the US you would of had a fire drill today . Post here if you did or did not have a fire drill today.

We had no fire drill today . We did have one last week I believe.

I had a fire drill too lol, and i live in england.. It was more being shouted at to line up..

It wasn't a fire drill here, it was a code yellow for us... Which means we have to be locked in our rooms while they take drug dogs and search the school for drugs.

Not surprised a whole lot of people got in trouble today

Lawl, yeah. I can't wait till that happens at our place and we get to find out who's druggiez. I already have ideas.

No... We had one on Thursday

And today, some gay kid set off a fire alarm in the Science block so everyone in the school (1200 people) had to go on the field.. Turns out the last person to do this was fined £800 and was excluded.

Last time there was a fire alarm at our school, someone set it off right between periods. It was so great, no one knew whether to go to the assembly area for the class they had 4th period, or to go to 5th period class assembly area. Then the teachers had a mix of 4th and 5th period classes at their areas. Mass confusion, wasted like half an hour whereas regular fire drills only take up 10 minutes

I'm on Fall break! W00t!

I think the US requires schools to have 1 fire drill a month, so it was always the last schoolday of the month for my old school. College, I have yet to be present for a drill.

Yeah I had 1, but only 4 a few minutes long.

I had one Thursday, while we're talking about people turning on fire alarms, I'd like to say, some of my friends begged me enough to pull it once in school, I stayed in the lunch room, and right after the warning bell for us to be in the classrooms, I ran through the hallways, flipped one of the alarms, and ran the hell out of there, weird enough, I ran by one of our suspected druggies and the teachers blamed him, and he got sent to AMS (Alternative Middle School) xD, I felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest the rest of the day, may have also been the fact that coach let out the sprinklers earlier and thanks to one of my friends (One of the ones who dared me) ran out there and around 500+ others followed, needless to say, the teachers were very, very, very, very mad at us (even the ones who ran around with us, and "just happened" to have gotten wet xD). Funnest day ever... All because I listened to a dare.

On another bright side, I'm now (un)officially able to run around the sprinklers, dig them out of the ground, and shoot them at people, ownage



I get off topic too much...

The fire alarm did go off a couple of weeks ago, funnily enough it took everyone about ten minutes to work out it wasn't a fire drill and therefore making people actually care about getting to the evacuation area, thus proving that fire drills lower the efficiency in the event of a fire. Some people (namely the teachers) turned up about half an hour after it started ringing.

It turned out that the year twelves had blown up something again in the common room, so no one died.
