Most dorms see no shortage of fire alarms, whether they’re drills or a bag of popcorn gone wrong. When I was an RA, I was on duty one weekend when the alarm started blaring. I ran down to the lobby to check where the smog was coming from. I thought it was a full-fledged fire. But after looking around, I found the source coming from the room of a student who was notorious for causing accidents: a freshman had put a frozen pizza in the oven—while it was still in the cardboard box.
