While out walking around the University campus this evening I saw a flash of light in the distance, golden hour was fast approaching but not a cloud in the sky. Could it be lightning, or was it just someone in the distance snapping a photo of me? As I looked closer, I found that the pulsating lights were coming from the recently opened and recently renovated (2011) Union South. As I got closer, I saw many people standing around as if recently evacuated: but a voice came over the loud speakers. Announcing that anyone in the building was to exit immediately, as the fire detector had been activated. Ive never come across a building so advanced, but as I rounded the corner I found Madisons finest escorting people out of the building. Once it appeared they were all out, the firemen went in.
About ten minutes passed and the flashing had stopped, and voices on loudspeaker grew silent. The only noise was the hum of emergancy vehicles outside. Firefighters then emerged from the building, suits as dry and clean as when they had entered. Although, I am not the pyro paparazzi today: after all not everyday can be as hot as the other.
