What is your standard procedure for a fire? Scenario: There was a small fire in a 4" diameter oil bath contained in a hood. The fire was put out with a fire extinguisher and public safety was notified. The integrity of the vessel being heated was not compromised and there were no toxic chemicals involved. The department has been criticized for not sounding the fire alarm. Immediate evacuation would have left ~50 experiments unsupervised in multiple labs. What do you think should have been done?
