Fire Alarm

It was 7.53pm, I was happily enjoying my dinner and the emergency alarm went off!!!

Me: "Is it our alarm?"
Friend A: "Err..., it's pretty loud."
Friend B (out from the room): "It's fire alarm, we need to go down."
Me: "I will knock Friend C's door and get my passport and keys!"

We went down by stair (of course!) and guess what - 2 fire trucks, 1 big 1 small were already there. In less than 30 seconds, another two came.

It was pretty amazing how fast they got here! How can they arrived faster than me?

5 minutes later...

No fire and we are safe. Everyone rushed back to what they are doing and everything is back to normal. I continued my dinner and the drama of Chef Ramsay on Hell's Kitchen.

Btw, the fire alarm was triggered by the smoke of an overheated oven left unattended by some ignorant people. At Level 6!



*The New Zealand Fire Service is really impressive! So efficient that it took shorter time than me walking down from Level 5 to arrive at the fire scene! Claps*
