FYI, my wife was there that same day and the same time having a pedicure on the 2nd floor. She has a broken foot and had to use the elevator. She sat right next to the elevator and the alarm the OP was talking about was the elevator alarm and not the fire alarm. My wife said the elevator alarm was very loud but it was for the elevator. The person who was working on her as well as the owner (manager?) told her the alarm on the elevator goes off periodically and when it does it trips an automatic call to the The Villages Public Safety and after they check it out they have to contact the elevator company to shut off the alarm. There was no fire alarm tripped. She talked with them because when the elevator alarm tripped and the Public Safety dept. showed up they wanted everyone out of the building. But when they found out my wife had a broken foot and had to use the elevator to leave, rather than carry her down the stairs they felt it wasn't that urgent because it was just the elevator alarm. You can all make your own decisions on this info but I would talk to Tuscony Health Spa first before yelling FIRE
