I once caused my High School to be evacuated. VERY hot sulfur in the heating/ventilation system causes unpleasant fumes.

I was also once responsible for the evacuation of an entire dormitory at Virginia Tech. The lighting/detonation of a single string of 1000 lady-finger fire crackers in a dorm room makes an ENORMOUS amount of smoke... certainly MORE than enough to set off smoke detectors.

This was in the days before “blind panic” became the emotion of the day, though.

D sized rocket engines down a dorm hallway have the same effect.

*Note that the fire doors at the end do not make a very good backstop.

I once caused my High School to be evacuated. Dead coyote placed under a trash barrel next to the air conditioning intake causes unpleasant fumes.

AND, I once made a remark in a HS chemistry class which the self-proclaimed school genius took seriously. He blew up the lab and we both had to write a 5,000 word essay of fire prevention.

Those were the days.

My personal favorite was butyric acid in the HS air conditioning system. Of course this was AFTER you left the building for the day (Had a set of campus buildings).
