I have a fear they will claim without the fire alarm we would not have been over 3 hours delayed.
Unfortunately it's no longer on EF, it's only there for 3 days approx.
And I think you are going to be correct about the total delay being partly extraordinary circumstances. EF does say the actual arrival was 00:13, so I guess doors open 00:20 instead of 20:10.
