> But Schäfer said it was not legally required to have a fire alarm because it belonged to the local municipality and was classified as a building holding equipment, not a fire station.

TLDR coffee break summary
A state-of-the-art fire station in Stadtallendorf, Germany, burned down due to the absence of a fire alarm, which wasn’t legally required because the building was classified as storing equipment. The fire caused €20-24 million in damage and destroyed ten engines. The incident has sparked calls to review fire safety regulations, highlighting a loophole in the classification system. The suspected cause was a malfunctioning battery charger, and rebuilding efforts will likely push for stricter safety measures.

The fire clearly did not follow the protocol.

> No one was injured although 10 fire engines were destroyed.
Strategically excellent play by the Fire though…

My favourite bit of info about this is from another article in German reading: “Über eine Ausstattung mit einem Feueralarm wird debattiert.”
So for the eventual rebuild of the fire station they are still DEBATING whether they need to install a fire alarm. Like you are still debating this???
