As I was about to step in through the revolving front doors of the Waterfront building, where the tretton37 office is located, I was stopped by a fire alarm ringing through the lobby. The alarm kept ringing, until a fire crew turned up some ten minutes later, probably checked something, and turned the thing off.

What was interesting about the incident was that the people already in the office didn’t even notice that anything was amiss, until I finally got in and could ask them. We’re on floor 6, and apparently the fire alarm had been triggered on floor 5. But the floors are so completely separated from each other that they’re not alerted nor evacuated for a minor alarm on an adjacent floor.
