If you spot a fire at an oil refinery, you need to raise the internal alarm so that pipelines can be shut off, personnel can be evacuated, and the refinery's fire brigade (who may well be better trained and equipped to handle the fire) can respond ASAP. | |

| May 3, 2017 at 23:36 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | What kind of "instruction" is this? Is it along the lines of "do not call 911, you will be fired" or simply "please call the internal number instead since our internal security can respond faster than emergency services"? The former might be illegal, the latter is very common. | |
