Fire Drills post Numero Two

I wrote about my experience as the volunteer fire warden for my ex-office on Monday, October 2, 2017.  Feel free to read it.  It is there.  Just search with the keyword "fire" on the "Search this blog" bar to your left.

Today will be the second time I write about fire drills.  I was walking my dog today and a fire truck was on siren.  As it passed me, I started wondering what the fireman and firewoman will see when they arrive at the scene.

My first thought was a bird stuck in a tree.  I have seen news covering fireman and firewoman rescuing cats on trees so rescuing birds from trees may be a possible scene they arrive to.

My next thought was it is a scheduled fire drill unbeknownst to the fire team on the fire truck.  A new kind of fire drills is necessary because our society love to reach new heights.  They have done so many times by building the NEXT tallest building.  At one point in time, the CN tower was the tallest building in the world.  The last I checked, it was only the ninth tallest.

While I continue walking my dog to get home, I thought it would be funny if the fire team arrive at the scene and immediately a colleague says to them "run to the 30th floor that's where the fire is".  The whole team runs to the 30th floor (with all of their equipments), a little confused because they don't see any hints of fire, and finally they see the fire chief.  That's when the fire chief announce the following: "This a scheduled fire drill and you are the slowest team to arrive.  Before I tell you your next task, is your entire team here?  I have not turned off the timer yet.  Did you rescue anyone on your way up?".

After all is answered, the fire chief tells them to now get to the 60th floor and make sure to rescue anyone who has passed out as they try to speed to the 60th floor.  That is actually where the fire is.

I don't know what happened when they got to the 60th floor. I guess fire drill is important for fireman.
