Fire Drills

[stratosphere]

How many fire drills have you had at school?
I've had one and it was during my I.T class. Also does your school's alarm sound annoying?

[Danny]

When i was at school i had about 7 fire drills.. And they always choose to do them in the winter for some reason when it's cold. And they tell ya not to waste time getting your stuff, like coats.

[Swastika]

We hardly ever do one.
Normally when the fire alarm goes off, its somebody playing a prank anyway.
And yes, its very annoying.

[Plank]

the fire alarm and my school sounds like a monkey..
anyway in year 7 it went of loads.. sometimes three times in one day..
year 8 went of a few times..
year 9.. drill at start of the year.. then they told us to ignore the fire alarm and not evacuate unless it goes off for longer than 20 seconds..
and we havnt had a fire drill in over a year lol.. well wen it gets set off, the headteacher turns the alarm off before even checking if there was a fire, bit dangerous really, o well..

[Eamonn]

Normally once a year we have practice but before I broke up for half term in October my friend set it off by accident it was hilarious.

[Jesus-Egg]

There's not point having a fire drill at my school because chavs set it off all the time anyway. We had one day where the alarm was set off over 10 times in one day (i lost count). They had to get this guy to turn it off whenever someone set it off.

[Angel-Light]

Seems like millions, went off 3 times in one day a few times.

The situation has got so bad that they are having to get the prefects to stand guard in front of the fire alarms lol

we have this new building at school and we were in I.T and there was this noise it sounded like a phone and every1 was like ooer wats that. The teacher didnt even no, so she goes 1 min goes out the class nd comes bak in with her coat scarf handbag nd gloves on and tells us to go outside and leave everything behind. So we all had to stand outside in the pouring rain for half an hour because of a stupid firedrill that was set of accidently by a builder.

Hope u enjoyed reading my life story

I can remember from my school days in 2005, it was set off so much, 7 times in one day i remember, the fire brigade are dialed automatically each time, we spent ages outside waiting.

So annoying during exam time. Ours sounds like a siren, and some of the seperate buildings have sounders that sound like a fire engine horn siren, lmao

[Danny,]

had around 3 drills so far and about 12 false ones with people setting alarm off

[Caution]

We had a fire drill in Maths. Quite funny we missed 1/2 of Maths as well:P

[ColyTom]

We've had about three this term.

[Sammeth.]

We havent had one in the past 2 years. This is worrying becaaaause:-

1. Each school should have a fire drill each term to ensure every pupil understands the rules.

2. Our fire assembly points have recently changed and we don't know where some ofthem are

3. If there was a fire we wouldnt know what to do if we hadn't have had one recently as our procedures have been updated.

Sounds like a blast.

[Rozi]

Lol, about avage at my old school I guess we had about 16.

When people wanted to bunk off one day they set off the fire alarm (Which is the totally wrong way to do it because the teachers are standing by the door) about 9 times.

[Prowler!]

We have loads.
2 so far this year though
1 for P.E [which i got cheesed off about]
1 for Tech [which i got happy about]

[Xarea]

We have them once every few months or so. Our firealarm sounds really cool. It's like BEEEEEEEEEP. BEEEEEEEP. ''Attention please. Attention please. Please leave the building immediatley, by the nearest fire exit. Do not stop to collect personal belongings and do not use the lifts.'' BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. BEEEEEEEEEP. and then just repeats itself.

You know the moment it goes off because the first beep is always like an air-raid horn style.

[Yoshimitsui]

Have them all the time, one time thi lass set it off and we had to stand outside for 1 hour while the firebrigade chekked every room and found wich fire alarm had been set off and it was freezing.

[Prowler!]

it's annoying ^_^

[cocaine]

A science classroom blew up and it set the alarm off.

[Hoax]

Lol, I've had 2 already ;[ in the first 3 months of school lawl.

[Andy?]

Last year, we had two real fires (year 11s just having some fun) and then the fire alarm broke, so it would go on like 5 times a day.. It was very annoying. It goes ding-ding-ding-ding really fast and its really loud.

[Minix]

Our fire alarm is wierd, mainly because it sounds exactly like our school bell.
Our bell goes "beeep, beeep, beeep" And the fire alarm goes "beeep, beeep, bee-EEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP" For ages. Once it went off in Maths, and everyone thought it was the bell. then it started going "BEEPBEEPBEEP" and we were all like "***?"

Once in year eight someone spilt radioactive chemicals or something in the chemistry department, and the whole school had to be evacuated to the Sports Block! Thats was seriously cool - we missed four periods (and a break, grrr).

[Wayne]

We get practice ones, but they're annoying. Me and my mates queued up for dinner the other day at school, we was just about to get served after queueing up for about 15 minutes and it went off. We was like FOR :rude: SAKE! Then when we came back in, we went to the front, then we got told to get to the back and queue up again. :rolleyes:

[Markness.]

If there was a fire we wouldnt know what to do if we hadn't have had one recently as our procedures have been updated.

just run for the nearest fire exit :P what is there to procede

Your is cooler, it speaks.:(
Mines just beeps ;l

[Angel-Light]

I am sick of my fire alarm as it has went off at least 15 times in the past 3 months :l

Though last week we did have an actual fire for the fire alarm to be set off. Yet we got sent to class after it even though one part of the school was filled with smoke :rolleyes:
