Back at college I worked as a security supervisor for all four years. Part of my job description was conducting a fire drill at the girls dorm each semester. They were timed and were supposed to be around 5 mins for them all to be out. Well, semester after semester they averaged around 8 mins, so finally my last year there I said..."That is enough of that!" I borrowed a smoke machine from one of my friends and at 3 am on a really cold October morning, I filled all the floors, both stairwells, and the lounge with the smoke machine. Then I walked over to the fire alert system, set the master alarm off, started the stopwatch and walked outside. Needless to say, we set a record that morning! I think it was around 4:20. Not to mention it was really amusing to watch. I have never seen 200+ half asleep girls move that fast! Of course I did not get very many friendly glances at class the next day...but I finally had my fire drill under time it was supposed to be.
