I was also @ Tuscany Spa, on the second floor during the "fire alarm". I came out of the ladies room, heading for the elevator when I was approached by an employee saying that I could not use the elevator because it was "beeping" and she was unsure why. I heard it beeping, but that was the only thing I did hear at that time. I was then escorted out the back upper level door onto the back porch. As soon as I went out the door, I heard the loud, shrill sound of a fire alarm going off. I thought that the elevator alarm was going off way ahead of the fire alarm ,but it never entered my mind that the alarm was shut off upstairs. I was escorted all the way down the steps and then into the front door to pay for my service. The girls at the counter were making phone calls to the owner, the fire dept had already been alerted. They were making their plan to get the building evacuated. There was a lady upstairs with a broken foot that they were concerned about. By the time I walked out the front door to leave, the fire dept was already there. Great response time...it was certainly less than 10 min.
