A rude awakening

I am at a conference today and when I arrived at the hotel there were 3 fire engines in attendance. Seems there was a fire alarm at 6.45, what a rude awakening for the guests that must have been. I remember only too well the effect of night time evacuations when running residential courses and the sheer panic which they cause in the middle of the night. Also the amazing attire which people would appear in at the muster point!!
