Eye-opening fire drills

Some kids sleep through shrill smoke alarms
This was a very good report we had on the news last night. But I'm also very proud of the way it turned out on the Web.

Essentially, our crew snuck into the bedrooms of three local kids (with their parents' permission) and videotaped their reactions when their smoke alarms went off.

The results were surprising. All of the kids slept right through the blaring alarms.

(Full disclosure: there was a fourth child who did wake up, but she found out the TV crew was coming and was already awake).

On WNYT.com, you can read the story, watch the 11 p.m. version of the report and read blog entries from each of the crew about what went on behind the scenes.
