| I got to ask are you in a house,condo,town house or an apartment? I would hope if it is a house the least they could have done was ask. When I was active in the fire department we did drills like this but they were mostly government buildings or business, but never without the owners permission.

| We usually ask permission first. We won't notify residents if it's a residential building, but we'll usually at least do a courtesy call to the management company. When it's new construction of a large residential or commercial structure we'll almost always do it. Ladder placement can be tricky so it's good to have a general idea in the back of your head with the high risk properties in your area.

| We used to pelt them with water balloons when I was a cop. The ongoing battle between hosedraggers and cops was one of the fun things about being a cop. And one of my best friends is a retired hosedragger.
