The first thing when entering the room is to clear it with gun in hand.
So if the staff made a mistake and gave you or somebody else the wrong keys, somebody might be suprised by a person suddenly getting in his/her room with a gun in hand... I can see a unwanted escalation potential there.
And lastly, we never, never, ignore a fire alarm in any building. I have been in 'important' meetings at work when the alarm went off. "Oh, it's always doing that." Everybody else just sat there. I got up and left. I caught hell for it later, but the budget meeting just isn't that important.
Depends on the work environment. In some cases you risk getting fired for ignoring fire alarms. I know locations, were you are welcomed, than emergency exits locations and evauaction zones are pointed out (which is also printed on the backside of the visitor pass, which needs to be worn all the time). Than they start the meeting.
