A fire alarm system wasn’t installed in the building because experts did not consider it necessary.
A new fire station in Germany that was destroyed in a fire, causing millions of euros in damage, did not have a fire alarm system.
The fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Stadtallendorf fire station in Hesse and destroyed the equipment hall and almost a dozen emergency vehicles, according to local media.
Initial estimates put the damage at between €20 million and €24 million. No one was injured.
Local officials told the German news agency dpa that no fire alarm system was installed in the building because experts had considered it not necessary — much to the astonishment of many observers now that the station has burned down.

I hope those “experts” have their feet held to the fire over this
This “experts” should be held accountable for once.

I’m thinking 🤔 maybe that’s okay because the fire department lives in the building. You know so they should be able to put out the first?
self examination should be job 1 when working for the community
