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.”

Chaos

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.

Piling back through the doors

Third year History student Sarah said: “It’s really cold outside. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Important meetings were disrupted

Facing mutiny from their own workers, Northumbria uni failed to comment officially about the dramatic events of earlier today.
