Was working on a system, these systems are huge and have hundreds of circuit boards in them. I had a lot of boards out to check. Had analog power off and started to put some boards back when 2 of them started to smoke. Quickly pulled the boards out but the Fire alarm went off. It is set sensitive due to the nature of the work. Whole side of the factory evacuated (on Nightshift about 70 ppl)....Linked direct to fire station and out facilites manager.
2 fire engines turn up and manager etc..
I explained to our Emergency response team and and fireman what was going on. Had to take fireman into deptartment and show him...
After that he agreed to let everybody back in..
On inspection of boards both had a couple of burnt out resistors that caused this..!!!
Fook me what a going on 
Thats little thing just caused the company a few thousand for the fire brigade etc...
All this at 4am...
