Re: Moaned at for fighting fires OR calling 999

At Xerox, smoke was poring out of a chemical store room. I was about to hit the fire alarm when a coworker wanted to do it. So I let him.

Turns out there was nothing wrong with the chemical store room. The problem was a ballast in an exit sign that was smoking. No one got in trouble (or even close to trouble) as you clear the building first and assess later.
