Steamy boiler room causes evacuation
Even the maintenance staff are complaining
Devoted Northumbria students had their studies disrupted by a bizarre alarm earlier this afternoon.
At around 2pm a loud (and somewhat passive aggressive) alarm sounded informing inhabitants of Habita to “PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY”.
The evacuation was a pain, even causing uni staff to be pissed off. An annonymous maintenance source said: “There was steam caught in the boiler room. It’s happened twice in the last week.
“I’m going to put a complaint in to the university about it.”
After taking a long and considerate three minutes to assess that the situation was no longer life threatening, students were permitted to return to their routines.
Third year History student Sarah said: “It’s really cold outside. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Facing mutiny from their own workers, Northumbria uni failed to comment officially about the dramatic events of earlier today.
