Fire Drill

The CNFJ Regional Fire Department is conducting its annual fire evacuation drills for all high-rise housing towers on the base this weekend. That means us. The alarm was sounded at 12:30 p.m. and baby, it was loud. Whether you wanted to evacuate the building or not, you had to get out of your apartment anyway to escape the shrill buzzer. It was enough to raise the dead. Afterwards, fire department personnel delivered a fire safety lecture in the parking lot.
