Yesterday all of us pharmacy students were working away on our chemistry lab reports in the library's group study rooms (apparently we booked them all out!) when out of the blue a fire alarm went off! That's the second one at Grafton this year! Surely Grafton is not like Rutherford College! The first one we had was considered a practice drill as well so I don't know if we failed that one or not!
We all filed out of the building and filled the quad outside, waiting there for several minutes until the fire alarm stopped. We STILL kept on waiting, until I noticed about four firefighters make their way through the crowd towards the entrance of the building! They didn't actually go in but went around it, completely equipped with helmet, oxygen tanks, axes and everything!
They came back a few minutes later and had a chat with one of the fire wardens (or that's what it looked like). We were then told we could go back inside, just not up to Level One of one of the buildings! I wonder what happened...
