Fire Alarm Appreciation

Deutsch siehe unten. German see below.

The Liffey Trust Center in Dublin. A new built apartment, in the North Wall district of Dublin 1. I lived there for 14 month on the 5^th floor in a modern apartment on the corner. All works fine. Almost all. One weak spot was the fire alarm. Approximately every other week, during different daytimes the alarm goes on. There was never a fire but all the apartments have smoke detectors and they might be sensible.

Years before a trusted customer recommend me to find out in hotels the escape way as he had someone close in a serious situation. I made it a habit and I took the habit with me in the Liffey Trust. When the alarm rings, I jump on, take shoes and jacket while walking out, take the outside stairs, walk down in the main backyard on the 2^nd level and down the big stairs toward the front of the house. The alarm is ringing loudly until some facility manager switches them off. Astonishing was that sometimes I was the only one, other people maybe peek out and ask and others ignore it at all.

I'm aware that most likely there wouldn't be a fire and even if as the building has wide open air corridors and balcony's. It was just the habit. If it is an emergency I ensured to act right, otherwise I would prepare for emergency and there was one additional factor: This was an opportunity to appreciate to be in a safe environment. I appreciate to be in a safe building with technology and a process that supports my safety.

No worries for the next alarm, just appreciation to be safe!
