Probably just as well. Was everyone else ok when you were all back home together? What did the school say when they sent you home? "Everyone is dismissed. Don't get caught in the fire on the way home." I only remember that particular day very vaguely as we lived in a non-hills suburb and those who came down from the hills were few and far between.
Sibling got lost on Mount Remarkable overnight when he was 8 and it was probably a similar kind of calmness that got him through that situation. If he'd panicked, he would have been totally stuffed.
I wish I was as calm.
