[200William-EC] FW: Lobby emergency bells in case of fire

Tue Apr 30 20:15:03 EST 2013

I wouldn't be to worried Craig. If there is a real threat the fire 
department would go door to door. I dont think we need to panic on this 
one. In any case this will be my last email on the subject so as not to 
fill up everyone's email boxes. The number 1 priority at the moment is 
the facade.
