This was the unpleasant noise I was woken to at 2am this morning.
After getting up and seeing 2 fire engines lights and sirens blaring I made Steve wake up and get dressed. We evacuated in an orderly way and waited outside with less then 1/4 of the residents of our building. While we where outside I was amazed at the varying degree of dress of my female neighbours. The attire varied from heals and dresses to hoodies over nighties. All the guys where pretty much dressed the same in teeshirts and shorts.
After 15 mins of waiting around outside we where allowed back into the building but told there was nothing the firefighters could do to turn off the alarm until the Superintendent showed up. So back to bed we went. Me wide awake and Steve still sleepy.
At 4am the alarm was thankfully silenced and I could go back to sleep (Steve had been asleep for an hour). That was my exciting Thursday morning.
