WHAT THE HELL!

We just had a nice little fire alarm. The staff in my hall just tried lighting the trash incinerator and it smoked up the basement...THEY KNEW WE DID NOT HAVE THE VENTS FOR IT! And to boot, its 8 am on my sleep in day. WTF!:|:|:|

Why is there a trash incinerator even installed if you do not have the proper facilities for it? Last I checked (mother works for an electrical contractor), when you have something that big installed, you have to have it and the building that it is installed in inspected by the city/county. If it doesn't meet code standards, you'll be required to remove it or fined. Inspectors will look for proper ventilation, as well.

Either
1) you don't have a legal installation of the incinerator
2) the inspector who inspected it was a little careless by overlooking the venting

:confused:

we just had a new cafe built this past year. It screwed with the vents in the building, so we could no longer use the incinerator. They knew this and yet they still tried it. Sigh.

Two nights ago the fire alarm went off at 3 in the morning. It was raining. I had a midterm at 8 the next day. Some kids were both drunk and high and tried to cook hamburgers, and grease in the pan lit on fire, setting off the alarm.

There are no vent fans in the kitchens in my apartment complex. Whenever someone burns something in the kitchen, the stupid fire alarm goes off.
