Our lab caught fire today. That was…interesting. Some few hundred people wandering about the parking lot, chatting idly, blinking in the sunlight. More fire trucks than I knew Medford had.
From my neck of the lab, it’s amazing how really not-loud the fire alarm is. I thought someone had tripped some kind of theft alarm / overcurrent protection / smurf detector in the back, and went back there to see what was going on. It wasn’t ’til I saw / smelt the billowing smoke that it dawned on me that I should probably be headed the other direction. (Actually, it was already out by then, but I guess there is some rule about staying in a building with the fire alarm going..)
