My friend was in my apartment by herself, I was in another friend's apartment. The fire alarm in the building went off(not the detectors in individual apartments). Protocol states that if the fire isn't in our apartment; we should remain calm until the fire ceases and the alarm stops(the doors are flame resistant). But if the fire IS in UR apartment, GET OUT, close the door behind u, and go to the landing(a spot on every floor like a hallway), and wait to be rescued by firefighters. MY friend, was in my apartment in the middle of a long soothing shower at this point. The fire alarm was deafening; she was scared, so she did the only thing that came to mind(her mind). She knew the fire WASN'T in MY apartment, but someone's; or it could be false. But she wasn't taking any chances, so, she had a full body length beach towel, which she wrapped and secured around her body. Then she ran out of my apartment all the way down the stairs(I live on the third floor), and out the double doors.
