For reasons unknown, the alarm panel that triggers the strobes and horns 
during a fire alarm event is temporarily our of service.  We discovered the 
problem as a result of the evacuation drill this morning.  Potentially, the 
problem could have been caused by the planned power curtailment earlier 
today (the system was operating on battery power).

Therefore, until further notice, you are directed to call 911 in the event 
of an emergency in Spieth Hall, LS 1500 or Life Sciences 
Psychology.  Engaging a pull station will not activate evacuation alarms.

You will be alerted when Physical Plant Alarm technicians return the system 
to normal operating condition.

Incidentally, Scott Corrin, Campus Fire Marshall, gave us good marks for 
our evacuation drill this morning.  However, there are a few logistical 
elements that require further scrutiny.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards, Dan
