Blaze Destroys Multimillion-Euro German Fire Station That Had NO Alarms
Stadtallendorf fire station was not required to have alarms because it was classified as a building holding equipment AP 17 OCT 2024 ![]() ![]() A state-of-the-art fire station in western Germany that was completed last year at a cost of tens of millions of euros has burned to the ground because it had not been equipped with a fire alarm. The town of Stadtallendorf had proudly unveiled the new structure less than a year ago, but early on Wednesday emergency services were alerted to a fire that had started in a vehicle before quickly spreading to the whole building. About 170 firefighters battled the blaze, including members of the local volunteer fire brigade, as 10-metre flames leapt from the station?s roof. No one was injured although 10 fire engines were destroyed. But relief at the lack of casualties quickly gave way to incredulity that the building had no fire alarm ? and then growing outrage and bafflement over the revelation that this was not a legal requirement. ![]() Firefighters who rushed to the scene became emotional at the realisation that their own station had burned to the ground. |
