No doubt this 'fire warden' was allocated the voluntary job by his boss based on the fact he's an annoying little fucker whom the boss wishes to get off his case! I hope he was wearing an armband and hi-vis!
Personally I have scant regard for fire rules after an upsetting case where upon seeing a girl on my staff run out of the toilets screaming 'fire', happily smashed the glass and emptied the whole of the First-Direct call centre, as well as numerous other company's staff that worked at the old Systime building in Leeds, into the car park. At least a dozen fire engines turned up (might not quite have been a dozen but i'll keep at that for comedic effect and blame my elderly memory!) and my entire evening shift earned a stack of OT as the staff audit took whilst almost midnight to complete due to many people just jumping in their cars and fucking off home when their shift should have finished, thus creating major descrepencies in the headcount! This major fuck-up was despite the fact we all had to swipe keycards to get in and out of the building even back then in 1990, but NOT during an evacuation of the building!
There was no fire, just a few sparks and a puff of smoke from a hand dryer fusing. The big bosses weren't happy. Seems I should have checked first, before hitting the panic button, they said. Hey-ho...better safe than sorry, I always say and damn it was fun ;-)
Haha!! It is better safe than sorry but what a stramash!! In our old building the alarms used to go off when someone used spray deodorant in the toilets. Every other bloody week we would be standing out in the street with no jackets on waiting for the fire brigade to give the all clear!
