All students have experienced those pesky fire drills. We’ve all heard them, interrupting our conversations, causing a momentary lapse into awkward and questioning silence. It’s not always annoyance, however, that makes us stop and listen. Usually, you wonder if the fire drill is signalling something real.
As of last Wednesday, my thoughts on fire drills have completely changed. Sitting in my 9 a.m. class, I was rudely awakened by what I thought was just another drill. It wasn’t. There was a small fire in the food court of Place Riel.
