are unannounced fire drills in dorms a bad idea?

I don’t think they’re really doing the drills to make sure we know how to exit the building- that’s been drilled into us since kindergarten. They do them to make sure the equipment works and so the faculty can respond appropriately if there were a real fire. However, I am not a fan of them, and I don’t think it could hurt to let us know, or at least do them during reasonable hours. That way, if it does go off at 2am, we are pretty sure it’s real.
