2012-2013 Fire and Misc. Emergencies Drills

I guess its been a while since anyone has posted in here about any drills or such, but our school had one today!

This was our first fire drill of the semester, after weeks of being delayed. It was planned much earlier, but our school had a flood, which was caused by a hot water main break in a second floor classroom, which had shot our elevator, water damaged the main office and the foods classroom, the staff room, the conference room, etc. We missed school for a week, and today, our school still is being fixed. They had also planned it for last week, but they need all 3 principals to do a fire drill, and The Principal had been stressed out about the flood damage and stuff that he had to stay home. So today, I guess the vice principals decided to do it without him, as we still have 2 more fire drills, a lockdown drill and a hold and secure drill to do in less than 2 months.

Anyways, this fire drill happened pd 2 at 9:30 sharp. I have spare period 2, and I knew about this drill, so I decided to seek refuge in the student council room and wait for the alarms to go off. I have anxiety, which causes me to get really anxious about surprising stuff like fire drills, even when I know it’s going to happen. I started filming once I had my headphones in, So I wouldn’t have to hear the alarms starting. As you can see in the video, there is a delay in when I start to get up to head out because I didn’t notice the alarms were even going off until I took out one of my headphones. I also walked back in the room, because I was planning to go to an alternate exit, to record some of the fire bells closeup, but I had ran into my foods teacher. I did get a shot of the basement hallway though before exiting.
