Euronews: Fire station burns down.
Germans are known for being smart and industrious, and not questioning their leaders. This leads them to getting too swept up in ill-advised causes.
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.
Germany has building codes. Someone made the decision to exempt this new fire station from customary procedures. Nobody objected.
Buried in the news report:
The fire broke out on an emergency vehicle belonging to the fire department, which contained lithium-ion batteries and an external power connection.
Lithium batteries burn very hot and are difficult to put out. When an electric car burns, fire fighters don’t extinguish the burning battery, but keep the fire contained. Why did the fire department need an electric vehicle? Because Germans are suppressing the smart part of their brains, and embracing the EV cult.
Here is respected physicist, Sabine Hossenfelder, explaining “Why I’m embarrassed to be German”.
