The fire alarm is being tested extensively today for 15 minutes....it's unbearably loud. The two tone alarm is reverberating in my skull. I am getting out of the office.

Surely they can't make you stay at work whilst they're testing it? Go have a break?
There is a weekly test that lasts about 10-15 seconds (and that happened yesterday) but this one came in during our lunch break. I gave up trying to make/reheat my lunch and waited outside. It's now after lunch break and am eating now so screw work for running the test during my lunch period.
The initial post would have been abit more informative/constructive but I gave up typing and just left.
We got about a warning about it though in email...that just went "we are testing the fire alarms now".
Last time there was a fire alarm test here we wrapped jumpers around the bell which stopped it rining out for the 10 minutes they had it running, it's right above the door of our office and it gets annoying. Every Wednesday morning at 9am they test it![]()
Not really as they are just testing to make sure the bells work and lets just say they work alright it's not a test as in to see how quick you can run out the building.
You can still hear the bell clanging but its not the high pitched bell that cripples your ears for 10 minutes.
