Many of these buildings are old. Not every apartment has a fire alarm. Most of these buildings have no sprinkler system. And so the risk of a fire is much higher in lower-income neighborhoods in The Bronx than it might be elsewhere in New York City or in the country, when we allow our affordable housing developments to be plagued by decades of disinvestment, we are putting lives at risk. These buildings are wide open to catastrophic fires that can cost people their lives, including the lives of children. – Ritchie Torres	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Your body has basically a fire alarm system that's a sprinkler system all at the same time... [ This ] is the first line of defense against different viral infections. When that system is delayed at triggering the alarm, and then consequently triggering the defenses, people tend to have worse outcomes and more severe disease, we're still learning about what makes that delay happen. But that does seem to be one of the major driving factors in how sick people will ultimately get. – Angela Rasmussen	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Let's put this in perspective, folks, what the inspector general said last time was the whistleblower pulled the fire alarm. We have now seen the smoke and the fire. – Mike Quigley	Found on CNN 4 years ago
I was in my room, and the fire alarm goes off. I go to open my door and the sign is on fire, so it was pretty small flame I blew it out and left, i was feeling pretty mad, pissed off, I guess it was less of a scared feeling and more angry. – Jackson Arnold	Found on FOX News 5 years ago

When you think about it -- two friends together -- one jumps in the way of a bullet to save her friend's life, the other, even though she was shot in the leg, she had the presence of mind to pull the fire alarm and in the process saved other people's lives. – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Who would have known? I was walking in a mall and between the crowd of shoppers shoving around and wandering about their business my eyes meet a familiar face. A face I haven't seen in years. Our gazes meet. We stare for mere seconds before the both of us look away pretending one hadn't seen the other and we quickly disappear into our now separate lives. But when I went home, I still had the Best Friends necklace you gave me in Elementary and the Senior ring we had in high school , stuffed in some drawer beneath clothes and books gathering dust as the years rolled by. I still have that photo album that starts with our picture as little girls dressing up as princesses to the day we held certificates with our gowns on. All through that journey we had been hand in hand from our first day of school to our first fight to prom night. From skipping class to plotting against teachers to every crush we had. Every exam we failed and every rule we broke. The times we sat together in detention and the times we never bothered showing up. All the hard times we pushed through and all the success we celebrated. Every fire alarm, birthday candle and breakup. We've been with each other through all and more until the day college split us apart. Your texts became shorter and your calls became rare. And I wonder how brutal graduation was for ripping us apart like that. Yesterday inseparable sisters, today a stranger. – Conseuquel	added by anonymous 12 years ago
