We have them often in the hospital, and to be frank we have "real" Code Reds due to patients/family members smoking in the bathrooms all the time. Unless the fire is in our immediate vicinity we don't actually do anything differently, we just move on with our day while we wait for the alarms to shut off in 10 mins

Yes. I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah, in a company I worked for a fire drill was mandatory. You got to know the shortest way out in case of fire. You got to know how and where to trigger alarm. You got to know what precautions to take. That can all be life savers. When you already are working in hell this is futile.

yeah, and yeah - it seems obvious but you'd be surprised how easily common sense goes out the window when shit jumps off - people freak out, forget where to go, what to do, etc. you have chaos, stampedes and whatnot and the answer to that is training: if you've done it a dozen times you're more comfortable when the alarm goes off for real

Yes many times and yes

Yes and I have no idea. The instructions are simple enough, it seems practicing it is rather superfluous, but who knows.
