So the purpose of alarms is to get the fire protection people out of
the building.

Speaking of people using their heads (or NOT)-
And I'll keep it brief, and have mentioned it before-
9:30 PM +/- on 9/11/01 the Fire Alarm went off when Cath and I were
finishing up dinner at the hotel restaurant, early for the canceled AFSA
convention at Boca. We're the only ones to get up and leave. Didn't notice
any guests exiting the hotel, either, although we didn't see all exits.
Naturally anyone there had seen tv coverage of death and destruction all
day. If the need to exit a building when the alarms went off didn't sink in
that night, it never will.
Ever since I assume the worst and lean heavily toward automatic anything,
assume people won't do the obvious.
