I can go along with periodic fire drills at locales such as schools/universities and large work places for folks to get used to safe evacuation procedures. A pox on those that refuse to participate.

But at public locations (hotels, motels, train/bus stations, etc.) with a revolving public? If you hear an alarm, get your butt out ASAP. False alarm or not, dressed or not, your life may be in immediate danger. High rise hotels have burned. Terrorism happens. Fire drills in such public places should never be allowed, IMO.
