Definately sensible Jungle Strip. Note that the
guffawing hotel staff...
were already in the carpark when you got there. They may have known that it was a drill but in a real emergency the first place low-paid hotel staff head for is the door.
Remember, any Firefighter in the world worth his salt would rather investigate a small amount smoke you made a fuss over, then give the all-clear, than turn up at a hotel that was "going like a bastard" and have to risk their own lives rescuing hundreds of people from a labyrinth of hotel rooms.

I would rather look a wally in the car park, in my jammies, than being identified in the morgue in them!

We all know what it's like when we do fire and smoke training. In real life its ten times worse and you don't have a smoke hood...
