Fake Fire alarm Fellonies
Fire alarm went off at 17:29 Wednesday 24 May (or at least according to my computer's clock). According to a recording of mine (a devised experiment simply waiting for the alarm to go off), it took 9 minutes 20 seconds for the Fire Brigade to switch the fire alarm off and 5 seconds after that to switch it back to the on position (although I am not focusing on their blunder tonight). The fire alarm had been going for approximately 30-35 seconds before I began recording meaning a total time of 10 minutes (give or take 10 seconds included) to arrive on scene when trustworthy 'whereis' believes that the journey itself takes 6 minutes - good/bad/normal time; what do you think?
It does also baffle me as to why sometimes the alarm goes off and 2 trucks arrive whereas on other occasions only 1 truck comes and on the select few instances a cherry picker makes its way to our College - just a guess really... so many false alarms the Fire Brigade might as well test out their vehicles in case there was a REAL fire.
Wow; it did entitle me to chuckle when the NSW Fire Brigade's domain is http://www.nswfb.nsw.gov.au/ - just for the extra 'nsw' geographic awareness!
A point detailing the wheris.com.au's credibility however: 1.52 km can be done in 2 minutes through a 50 km/h is definitely denying physics' credibility!
