[quote]A Norfolk fire station gutted in a blaze that destroyed a fire engine was not fitted with sprinklers or alarms.

Norfolk's deputy chief fire officer Roy Harold accepted the service should have followed its own advice.

Police officers working nearby reported the fire in Downham Market just after midnight.
Watch manager Kim Scotney said: "The rest of the crew are dumbfounded. [/quote]

Luckily no deaths, though the amount of irony here could be fatal :v:

Whoever designed that place probably deserves a swift kick in the ass.

"Where-ever fire is outside these walls, we will put it out!"

In hindsight the Norfolk Firemen realized that their slogan has quite a big loophole.

Just for everyone's knowledge, fire-stations in britain have large banners outside usually saying.

"Fit a smoke alarm."

I dont get why they had to specifically add "outside these walls" to it in the first place

"Wherever fire is, we'll put it out!" would have sounded better anyway
