I guess there must be an international school for fire marshals.=20

Just goes to prove, no matter the location in the world ..... stupidity thr=
ives.=20


I mean ..... What could possibly burn(?) and someone MUST have suggested th=
at the fire would put it self out.

And then I wonder .... what could have been the over riding objection to th=
at thought.=20
Uhhh ... Yeah but the building might cave in?=20
Someone may drown to death?=20
It might eat a hole in the floor and the hotel could fall in the river?
The hotel could melt and flood the town?
The occupants could die of heat stroke?

Well ... anyway ... I think that as long as they're going that far, they sh=
ould also put in a sprinkler system. When the fire starts it'll melt the wa=
ter in the pipes.=20
Is it just me or does the intelligence of people around you seem to be dimi=
nishing?
