As the title says, there was an actual fire at my school today.

There's so many fire drills and safety precautions, yet none of them actually worked for this. The fire alarm was never set off. Over 2,000 people were inside, not knowing that one of the bathrooms was burning until someone smelled smoke. The fire department was called, no one was hurt, and no really bad damage was done. No one was evacuated, though. The fire alarm failed.

It really has me thinking. We try to be so prepared for everything, but even that can not work. There's so many regulations and rules... what's the point of it? Same with zero-tolerance policies. They don't stop anything.

I guess there's really not a big point to this, but I like thinking about things like this.
