@@sarahfaith6531 Doesn't a gas leak emit an odor? I think it does so that homeowners are alerted when they smell rotten eggs. Yes, people who don't take alarms seriously are FOOLISH not to leave the scene IMMEDIATELY. Good mom in this story.

[@HoloRC]

@isabellind1292 - natural gas (tasteless, odorless, colorless) is mixed with an oderizer chemical called mercaptan. It smells similar to bad eggs or sulfur / fart-like smell. If you rupture a gas line of that size as this crew did apparently, more than likely you have only a few minutes to alert people before the gas finds an ignition point. You wouldn't smell it before it would be too late with a building of that size. Natural gas / methane dissipates quickly in the open air but if you have a leak within an enclosed space, the gas will rise to the highest point, to the ceiling, up elevator shafts, in cooling vents / etc - in the same way that water moves into spaces by gravity. Once ignited, the building itself becomes a bomb. If you smell mercapin - walk back to where you didn't smell it - if in a building, get out quickly and report the gas leak as quickly as you can.

My old High school used to tell us if you heard the fire alarm go off don't start evacuating. Only start evacuating if it was declared over the intercom. If you left when the fire alarm went off you risked detention. I understand it was supposed to fight back against kids pulling the fire alarm for a prank but that system could go wrong in so many ways.

[@Sparky-ww5re]

@@ladylucifer5044 that was very poor guidance from the HS, as this video footage clearly shows. In the elementary, middle and high schools I attended, we were to evacuate as soon as we heard the fire alarm, no matter what. Admittedly, I had an alcohol abuse disorder when I was a teen, high functioning at that, and took advantage of this. Got expelled in 10th grade, lost my newly obtained drivers license and did 90 days in juvenile lockup, mandatory alcohol/drug screening and treatment as a condition of probation following my release until I was 18, after which I obtained my GED and studied to be an electrician. I pulled the fire alarm because my locker was in the process of being searched, as I had a bottle of ginger brandy in my backpack, which I brought with a fake ID at the liquor store a block from where I lived at the time, and alcohol soaked gummy bears that I had shared with over a dozen students over a period of days. Everyone evacuated but ultimately the ginger brandy, gummy bears and wallet with fake ID was found in the locker. This would have been in October of 2005, roughly a month after the school year began, and celebrating 11 years of sobriety.

I was a fire fighter in the Navy and we had an alarm malfunctioning for refrigerant during a time. We were required to dress out completely to investigate. It got so tiresome that we stopped dressing out as required to turn it off. I was always wondering when would be the time we actually had a leak and we walked down into that space not protected. This was well over 20 years ago and I still remember that. We really should never have responded without protection even if that alarm went off 100 times. It only takes once.

[@mariebelladonna437]

Never thought about that part, myself. But I did always reason that if there was a power cut because of the fire, you'd be trapped in what would essentially become a chimney, inside a burning building. It always seemed like a much safe idea to just go down the stairs, even if there didn't look to actually be a fire. And safe is always better than sorry!

[@spicypizza6116]

That, but the other issue is that the power can go out and you will/could be trapped in it. Something that haunts me the stories of the people screaming inside the elevators (lifts) on the Costa Concordia. Other passengers and crew were able to get some people out, but it is believed that at least 5 deaths were caused by being trapped.

[@mrdan2898]

Yeah. Also that elevators can loose power and fully trap the occupants inside the elevator, or just freefall to the bottom. Many firefighters have died that way.

[@elizabethboyer9390]

And THIS is exactly why they tell you to NOT use an elevator when a fire alarm is triggered/pulled!

[@Smedley1947]

That and the fact that if you're in it and the elevator stops between floors you will be fried like a chicken breast in an air fryer. And that won't happen quickly because the elevator will 'protect' you from smoke and oxygen depletion caused by the burning material in the fire. Those two things are what normally kill people relatively quickly in a fire. Still a horrible way to go but in the elevator scenario there will be oxygen to breathe and little to no smoke to suffocate you quickly.

[@ghost307]

Also the heat of the fire can activate the call buttons which will bring your elevator directly to the floor that's on fire.

[@Deathtofrogleghorn]

That and the fact that when there’s a fire, the electricity goes out in a building and you can get stuck. Once that heat gets to a certain point, it can melt the elevator cables and it will be one hellish ride depending on what floor you’re on.

As a fire alarm inspector, I always recommend leaving the building if you hear a fire alarm going off and you are unsure if it is a test. Most places, especially residential, require a 24 notice prior to fire alarm testing. You as a tenant are obligated to know of this tested. Unless you are told that it is a test by a fire safety officer or life safety technician, don’t risk it. Leave the building and make sure you and your loved ones are safe. The fire alarm is there to protect lives. In most cases the system can detect things other than Fire such Natural Gas, Carbon Monoxide and much more. Just do what is safest for you and your loved ones. If you hear a fire alarm and have to question it, make no mistake and consider it real.

It's called shock and trauma, leads to PTSD, which could be temporary with the right support and knowledge that you made it out alive, safe and did the right thing. Where I lived in Portland we had firedoors between sections of the building that would close and electromagnets would prevent the doors from being opened, they were even installed on the elevators, all of which would immediately travel to the ground floor preventing anyone from using them. The doors were placed purposely to prevent fire from burning the next section of the building and were placed at firewalls that divided the building. There was about 3-6 apartments depending on the section of building per fire block. Each one had their own stairwell per block. The alarms would sound in every apartment, every corridor and in the courtyards and garages. You were basically forced outside of the building for safety. Additionally any heating or air conditioning in any unit would automatically turn off the second the fire alarm went off. That was to prevent feeding the fire more oxygen and prevented it from moving from unit to unit with smoke. Pretty advanced and this was 25 years ago.

[@staciasmith5162]

"Firedoors between sections of the building that would close and electromagnets would prevent the doors from being opened." "The doors were placed purposely to prevent fire from burning the next section of the building and were placed at firewalls that divided the building." Yes. These are standard where I live and work. In normal times the magnets hold these doors open so you can pass through. In a fire alarm the magnets STOP holding these doors open so they can swing shut and contain the smoke and fire in that section Once the alarm is over the magnets start working again and we just push the doors back into their open position.

I live in a high rise building. In the past 2 years the alarms have gone off maybe 25 times. Once was vandalism, once was from a sprinkler line break, twice were smoke from cooking and all the other times were unconfirmed. It' hard to pay heed when all you experience are false alarms.

[@djshiva]

That happened in my work building a lot. I always evacuated. I would rather be annoyed than dead.

[@SkyFyre2435]

It's really not, if you aren't lazy or have mobility issues. You don't know why the alarm is going off, and even if you know it's probably a false alarm, it's just ignorant and downright stupid to believe it's _definitely_ a false alarm. The bottom line is that you _don't know,_ and if you'd rather take the risk of dying in a structure fire instead of evacuating the building for 30 minutes, you might want to rethink your priorities. My elementary school had problems with the fire alarm system one year, where we would have multiple false alarms every month (the company that maintained it didn't know what they were doing, but that's another story). But we evacuated every time it went off. Because we didn't know if it was a real fire this time or not.

[@ohboah320]

@@SkyFyre2435 You are missing the point. The point is that when you cry wolf, people start to pay no heed. Alarms are meant to notify of a fire not that someone put flour down the trash chute and the cloud it made sets off the alarms. You are correct that someone will get hurt or die from not leaving during a real fire but in 2 years there hasn't been one. It also wastes the fire departments time and resources every time they come out for a false alarm. By the way, the alarms have gone off two more times since I posted this. No fires were found.

[@dragoncrackers7660]

I was at a casino last year and the alarm went off and nobody moved; they just kept playing their machines. I wasn't really concerned that there was a fire... its always a possibility but I was really concerned at how nobody reacted. I made my way to the front and waited for my sister to come. I am a firefighter but not in that county so we take these things seriously and she did come quickly. I was then standing next to the door man and the conversation went something like Me: What the heck? Do they not hear the alarm? Him: Oh, this happens several times a week; nothing's wrong. Me: How do know that? Him: Because security told me that the system says the fire is right there (pointing toward the cashier desk)... Do you see any fire here? Me: So this is a regular thing?... Okay, bye then. I've not stepped foot in that complex since. I did report it to several agencies in writing so hopefully that helped them get their crap together and fix that alarm.

Thank you for not telling us what actually happened to cause the explosion..

She was hit by the concussive force of the explosion, was close enough for it to knock her glasses off. Later has body aches and memory problems. I'd be on my way to the hospital to get checked out for a traumatic brain injury
