No one knew what was going on, including us. But a large crew of fire department trucks showed up. At that point, people stopped trying to argue with us. The fire department apparently found some folks in a restricted-access lab downstairs who were ignoring the alarms. We saw them escort about 10 people out. About 10 minutes later, we got a radio report that things looked okay, but we still were not clear to re-enter. Another 10 minutes, and we got an all clear. One of the fire department guys coming out of the building told me it was a malfunctioning smoke detector, not a fire. Good. But it's better to have a not-a-drill like this, with nothing really wrong, because then you start to realize what you'll be up against if something major happens.
Excitement of the day
