´The Fire Drill´ in my training time looked somewhat different . After signal we had to evacuate everything from our company rooms (an entire floor) , except built-in wardrobes to drill field 200 metres away and set up the company rooms in exactly same placing as in our rooms . 2-story bed bunks and personal belongings , chairs and so on . The finding the exact locations for all of it took some time , but finally we managed it .
Then the sergeants told us to go to sleep . It was actually kinda fun , laying under beautiful September sky for couple hours . The the ´awake´ signal came and we got to carry it all back inside .
It was the traditional ´reaction´ in my Btl., when drill sergeants found that the young ones were not keeping their rooms clean enough . It ended with next group of trainees , who after ´Fire´ signal evacuated their stuff as in real fire and threw the beds through windows .
