Today, in Chem, I was chosen to hold the fire extinguisher just in case something happened while showing how to blow up a dangerous chemical. My teacher told me to spray if anything got out of control. He lit the fire and I freaked out and sprayed it. The entire wing of my school was evacuted. FML

No, they only evac'd / closed off the south wing of the school. The smoke from it set off the detector, which caused the alarm, so it's really the fault of the trigger happy person. Mostly because nothing was getting blown up, it was just controlled fire.

they only evacuated one wing? my old high school would have evacuated all 5 wings and called the fire department and cops, letting us in about 2 hours later.

smoke set off detector, causing the school WING to be evac'd. I know because I was there.

there's a signal in the fire extinguisher box that sets off the alarm when it's opened

But then the alarm would have gone off as soon as the chem teacher removed the fire extinguisher. Being a chem teacher, they probably have a separate one in the demo/prep room or chemical storage room. But since fire extuingishers don't expel smoke, I'm more inclined to believe that A: the smoke from the fire set it off or B: the smoke detectors also detect the chemicals the extinguisher uses.

The teacher opened the door to let out the extinguisher stuff, and I guess some of the smoke was still around, so it set off the detectors off outside as soon as he did it.

So basically the OP had nothing to do with getting evacuated, which makes this FML pointless, right?

if it was a CO2 fire extinguisher, the CO2 could have set off the smoke alarm.
