what about the bow-drills or hand drills used to make fire without matches or other modern methods? The topic is probably posted elsewhere, but there should be a link.

[edit] Fire drills in Rhode Island

Where does it say in the statute that fire drills must be unannounced and at random intervals? SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Limited geographic scope

I put the limited geographic scope on this page because there is a lot of information on U.S fire drills but nothing on other countries. If I can spare the time, I will try and improve this article.

I think that another problem is that this article is rapidly turning into a list of fire drill regulations. I'll take care of that one, likely forking it off to its own article. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] shortened form of chinese fire drill

I don't understand why it makes sense to include in this article the fact that the term fire drill is often used as a shortened form of a chinese fire drill if we aren't going to also say that, as a matter of fact, people often use the this phrase without the pejorative connotation. I say we either properly explain the way "fire drill" is actually used or we leave the whole matter about its use out. --24.2.93.224 05:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

A wikilink to Chinese fire drill exists, which covers that concept in more detail than this article. If a user wants to learn more about Chinese fire drills, then they can click the link and look. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if I follow since it seems like the question here is how people are using the phrase "fire drill" not how they are using the phrase "chinese fire drill." If it belongs anywhere it would be on the fire drill page though I could see an argument for putting it on both. Thinking about it more, none of this usage stuff belongs in an encyclopedia article on fire drill. I'm going to delete the whole section. --64.161.137.66 10:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
