The Day the Fire Engine Came to ESco

I've just been looking through the photos I took on my phone's camera and came across this one which brought a smile to my face. Back in February, on a typical afternoon at work the fire alarm suddenly went off. As a firewarden, I grabbed my light saber (torch) and day glow jacket and made my way upstairs to make sure that everyone had evacuated from the top floor. Meeting Room 1 - check, Meeting Room 2 - check, Kitchen - check... it looked like all was clear, just one more room to check... Shower Room... um, there is someone in there. I knocked on the door... "Come on, get out, the fire alarm is going off" I shouted.

"I think its because of me!" the voice shouted back. "Sam!?" - oh my goodness... a few seconds later the door flew open with a rush of steam and through the midst out popped Sam... "I think I had the water too hot and the steam has set the alarm off". Oh dear. What an embarassment. So basically, Sam's hot shower had set the fire alarm off and caused the office to be evacuated with an automated call to the fire brigade. Only minutes later the firemen arrived, the females of the office were at the window having a nosey and not much work got done. Well done Sam!
