MESSAGE FROM THE NEW BRIGHTON FIRE MARSHAL: On Tuesday evening, November 1, the fire alarm went off at St. John's, and the fire department noticed that some people did not leave the building. Regardless of whether it is real, a drill, or just a false alarm, whenever the fire alarm goes off, it is mandatory for everyone to leave the building, NO EXCEPTIONS! Your safety is the fire department's number one priority, and it is the first priority at St. John's, too. Thank God no one was hurt, but we can never take anything for granted.
