Loathe as I am to be in any way sympathetic to Amazon, I have to ask: what's the right thing that should have happened?

It's pretty standard that in a fire you leave the building and assemble in some safe location. The only fire drills I've done have been in school, in clement weather, and we assembled in the parking lot away enough from the buildings that the fire wouldn't affect us, we wouldn't be in the way of firefighters and away from the road.

But when it's cold: what provisions should be made to ensure the assembly point is a "safe location"? It's reasonable to assume people will evacuate without jackets or anything.

I don't know the answer, but perhaps someone who's been in a fire drill in a cold climate can explain.

People should have been told to go to their cars to stay warm.
