ok their is a reason for these questions lol ... some people dont pay attention and take things serious and when living in a dorm which most likely has alot of floors and people they need to get your attention. when I was in college and living on the 5th floor we had a small fire early one morning i say small because the fire dept took care of it quickly and it didn't do any major damage. but for the previous drills we did have some residents who stayed in for the fire drill. so when we had the actual fire to be sure everyone got out the RA's knocked and banged on everyones door. had the fire been worse it could have been very dangerous to do this and people could have lost lives.

I think there have been people at my college who actually slept through fire alarms. How the noise could not wake them up I do not know. And yes, I think it's really dumb when people decide not to leave the building.
