Fire Alarm!!!

Today at around 8.15pm, there is a fire alarm. As usual i thought it is a false alarm as there is never ever once a real fire happened before. However, just now it is the first time after almost a year of stay at Camden Court, the fire alarm is for real!!!!

The fire alarm kept on ringing for almost 10 minutes before i decided to went down and have a look. After 5 minutes of waiting outside the building, to my surprise, there were two fire engine coming to the rescue. It is so as the management of Camden Court is not on duty at that time when the incident happened, which was really weird.

The reason the fire alarm rang was basically due to a gas leakage on the 2nd floor of annexe building. I was shocked when i heard of the info but felt relief at the same time as i stayed at 2nd floor but at the main building.

There are a total of five firemen and two assistance who upon arrival quickly started to performed their duty. As it was a leakage, one of the firemen brought out a machine from the fire truck and started to absorb the gas from the door to prevent from spreading.

After awhile of standing and watching the firemen performed their duty, we are finally allowed to went back to our own room by one of the firemen as it was just a small matter.

What a day we, the tenants of Camden Court had for the day.... The next time the fire alarm rang, i will definitely make an effort to go down and check just for safety purposes....
