fire alarm going off

Deleted user

Good morning

Was fast asleep until the fire alarm went off around 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep.

I was feeling anxious as thought had to get out. Does anyone feel the same?

In my former workplace used to have a fire alarm test. Really annoying when a bully said we are all going to burn. Also leaving the door open. One person usually forget to sign in.

Never seen one at other businesses doing a fire alarm test.

    At my workplace when I am not working from home they test the fire alarm the same day and time every week so we know. Also it is a voice recording rather than a bell.

    I feel like they should give a warning. It could legit kill someone with a heart defect.

    One year I'd got an advanced warning about the fire alarm. That helped a lot.

    Fire alarms aren't a nice thing to experience even if there isn't actually a fire. It's so loud and can be overwhelming especially if you happen to be sensitive to sound.

    I can remember at school dreading a fire alarm test because I knew how anxious and triggered it would make me. After the event I was exhausted, still jumpy and often had a meltdown. Because I got in such a state I was usually sent home. Lucky I had an understanding school I guess.

    I worked as a PA in an business complex and they did fire drills which always frightened the life out of me.
