Default Fire at the Bow?

Everyone streaming outside of the building right now, lots of fire trucks, people looking up at the tower.

Anyone know what's going on?

Really or joking?

I was just watching the evacuation from the Telus tower. We may have a drill today or Monday.

Right - "Fired", not "fire". Easy mistake to make.

It seems like a joke but I've been evacuated from office towers because someone burnt toast/food in the kitchen.

The worst is walking down 30+ flights of stairs.

Last week an affiliated company of ours had to shut down a mod yard with approximately 400 people for a day and a half because someone bumped a safety cone with a truck.

they banned popcorn at the BP Centre when I worked there because some dumbass put in 20 minutes instead of 2 and forgot about their popcorn. Entire building evacuated.

I guess the economy isn't that bad... Yet.

People exiting and looking up, no smoke and fire trucks?

It wouldn't be the first time it happened out of a high rise in Calgary.

I believe it was a fire drill, as we haven't had one in a while. I could be wrong though.

Just meant an extended lunch
