The fire bell was ringing a moment ago, and the PA announcement was calmly urging us all to please leave the building while an electronic siren blared. The whole thing was an awful racket, and I slowly got of bed and made to leave, all the while thinking of past times this same thing has happened. The noise and announcements went on for about five minutes, then stopped, so I stopped, too. I'm going to guess that most of us residents, like last time, didn't heed the call—we merely waited for the noise to stop, then went about our lives.
It's been a constant barrage of useless PA announcements over the past few days. Typical winter stuff: "When you leave your place, please shut your windows, unplug your electrical items," etc. Several times a day, for days. How are we supposed to take these announcements seriously when they come so relentlessly, one after another? Bleh... if there's a real fire right now, I'm tempted to just sit here and burn like a tallow candle.
