re: #7 wrenchwench

I was up 3 times during the night, yet somehow managed to totally miss a big fire a block away.

A pneumatic siren 50 m away on top of a school is hard to miss, especially in summer when you have the windows open. I was up by the time the 3rd 7 second tone sounded.
(Cadence is 7 s tone 14 s silence, repeated)
