    Somebody probably pressed the fire alarm.

    Since it a large public building, I assume it would be linked into DFB systems and as soon as a fire alarm goes off, they dispatch an fire engine immediately from the station.

    Also, if a fire brigade arrives, they have to determine if it was a false alarm. So they stay onsite for a short time.

    Or it could have been a medical emergency. All DFB firefighters are trained paramedics. They train as paramedics before training as firefighters. Thats why you will nearly always see a fire engine arriving when an ambulance is called for a serious case such as cardiac arrest etc ;)

    Or I could just be making this crap up as I go along :pac:

    I assume it wasn't serious, such as gas leak etc, if they didn't evacuate.

    I was in the D block welding:eek: when the alarm went off..

    It turned out to be a problem with the extractor system, I heard the alarm in the extractor system dectected a gas leak and so the fire alarm was activated, but it turned out that there was no leak just a false alarm.

    I also left the car keys inside and had to wait around till we got the all clear before I could go home. It was so cold outside in your T-shirit.
