Fire Alarms
The fire alarm went off in my building tonight. Being my grandfather's son (Olev Ha'Shalom), I immediately grabbed my bag and headed out the door and down 14 flights of stairs.
The fire department showed up with two trucks, which I found somewhat surprising. I would've figured a full battalion call since this was a high rise, and apparently there was some smoke (which I smelled on my way down while on the third floor - let's just say it smelled illicit).
After the fire department gave the all clear, I made it a point to thank every firefighter I saw. I live less than a mile from the Pentagon - the people who showed up at my building were probably the same ones who responded to 9/11. I will always thank every firefighter I see.
