At my work, the backflow valve for one of the main pipes is hooked up to the fire alarm. The valve faulted, so the fire alarm went off.
Now the alarm has been going for 3 hours. Most the students an staff are outside now, just waiting for it to be turned off.
We have to wait for the plumber, ironically, and not the fire department to turn off the alarm.
This is going to be a long day.

Yay, it finally stopped. However, now I'm "hearing" the fire alarm constantly. It's like having a song stuck in my head.

Did the smokers take the opportunity while the alarm was sounding? After all, if the fire alarm is already going, it is to be expected for there to be smoke in the building.

This flashes me back to college with undergrads huddled in their rooms hoping to get away with smoking. The usual result was standing in the snow in pajamas waiting on the fire dept to come in and turn off the tripped alarm.

That happened to me in college too when someone tried to microwave a belt.
