Locked fire exits trap Carleton students inside residence during fire alarm #YIKES

Locked fire exits trap Carleton students inside residence during fire alarm: OTTAWA — Some Carleton University students could not flee their residence building during a fire alarm early Wednesday morning because the emergency exits at both ends of their floor were locked.A fire alarm went off in the new Lennox-Addington building just before 1 a.m. When students tried to leave their single and double rooms on the eighth floor, the doors were locked from the inside and out. Several other students were trapped in an elevator lobby between the two wings of the floor and could not open either set of doors.
