Fire drill went OK except for one room of people who reportedly wouldn't leave. I forgot to pass on the OK signal around the corner of the building -- must keep that in mind for next time. Notes from the meeting:

• The new alarm ring is an ISO standard, and will be the same in all buildings eventually.
• Instructors were reluctant to leave classrooms, which caused students to move slowly as well.
• Don't forget to clear washrooms.
• Get people out by the nearest exit. They often want to leave the way they came in, even if that's distant.
• Locking office doors is OK (in the past we were told to leave them unlocked).
• Don't leave until your floor/wing is cleared, unless staying puts you in danger.
• If you have any knowledge of the actual fire (location, conditions, injuries etc.) make sure the BEC knows.
• We have seven real fires a year at UVic, so it won't always be a drill.
