OK it was a not an actual fire, just an alarm, but my question is
Do you deal with the fire in the loins first or jump out of bed pull on your clothes and head for the hotel carpark?
Do you take the risk? |

Recently skiing in Italy when the fire alarm went off in the early hours
We jumped up grab a towel which could only be described as that little towel that goes on the floor in front of the shower
Mrs j put just a t shirt on
And then we're in the corridor full of people in hats , jackets , gloves etc
We did get a few looks and luckily didn't end up outside in the car park |

Had a fire between Xmas and new year. Cat turned on the hob while I was in bed. The items on top caught fire so the house smelled of toast and burnt plastic.
All ill say is thanks for smoke alarms. Jumped up, put the small fire our and cleared the smoke. Hob is now off at isolator. Lucky I was home at the time but the panic was real.
At that time I wouldn't gave cared if I was naked, dyed blue or what state I was in |

There were 12 of us living above the pub when the smoke alarm went off at 5:30 in the morning.
A fire was discovered in a void between the floors that we tried to put out with fire extinguishers (it didn't work)
We all had to run out of the building only wearing underwear or pyjamas.
Fire brigade rocked up within 3-4min but it was to late to save most of the building and so watched as our home and place of work burned to the ground.
Since that experience, I always look for fire escapes and my way out whenever I stay in a hotel or large building.
It really doesn't take long at all for fire and smoke to spread and destroy.

"With you op it would be a case of " we have started so we will finish" first.
Of course there will be round two to warm up after standing around in the cold.
Peach you would start my fire x"
All it takes is a little kiss |

Your cat was innocent of all blame. |
