Why?:Will you get more than one drill on a school day?

So you're having lunch with your besties (or not) during school. However, as soon as you get onto the lunch line, the fire alarm goes off. It seems to be abnormal because you don't get a lot of evacuation or fire drills more than once, but you're forced to evacuate. There are reasons why you will get more than one drill going off in a single school day.

Scenario 1: Accident

“Apologies for the second evacuation drill in one day! One of the covers came off the alarm station and when one of our staff members was placing the cover back on, they inadvertently triggered the alarm!”

~ A principal when he realizes that the staff member will get fired anytime soon

Oh boy. So, there's a chance that one of the covers would come off and trigger the fire alarm. You had a fire drill earlier in the day, but someone, either a student or a staff member will accidentally trigger the fire alarm, causing the entire school to evacuate. No one is to blame, but even if it was an accident, staff members are more likely to get fired than the student will be suspended.

Scenario 2: Intentional

A staff member or student will intentionally set off the alarm, and depending on the situation, they could get fired from their job or get suspended.

Scenario 3: An actual fire in the building

Okay, maybe that would happen during an actual fire drill. So if there's a fire in the school, firetrucks would come and surround the school.

Scenario 4: ???

Huh? What's that sound?? Did someone turn on the alarm???

EVERYONE, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
