My wife just told me about a sensor in one of the buildings in her school going off. so the fire alarm rings in all the buildings. Even those on other campuses.. about 2 football fields away. They couldn't shut the alarms so everyone was sent home.
WHY ON EARTH would fire alarms be connected to buildings that far away. A fire is a building thing, not an entire 2 campus event. So thousands were released unnecessarily. Interesting how local and state guberments can F up every simple thing.
