They had a fire drill today, during the daily Bingo game

We had visited Janet, and Mary and I were about to leave. We heard that some of the residents were playing Bingo on the 2nd floor. We joined in the game, briefly, because Mary wanted to. Suddenly, the fire alarm went off, and the announcement said Code red, first floor elevator. It was just a drill, but the fire doors auto closed, and what i guess are smoke retardent accordian curtains also closed off areas. So we walked to the nearest stairwell, Mary and I , and went down to first floor. The staff was going door to door and bringing people out into the hallway, and putting door hanger tags that read 'CLEAR' on each room.

It was good to see the safety plan in action, although Mary was visibly nervous and clinging to me. One gentleman said to her, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." He was a resident with whom we descended the stairs.

Couple of photos taken before the drill. So we went back up to see Janet after the drill, and she didn't even remember it.
