Huge, state-of-the-art fire station burns down because they didn't have any fire alarms

A fire station in Germany, a state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar fire station, along with ten fire trucks, burned to the ground this week ... because they hadn't installed fire alarms.

The new fire station, in Stadtallendorf, was hailed by Oberhessische Presse, the town's local newspaper, as a "modern, state-of-the-art" building when it opened last year.

But months later, Stadtallendorf firefighters, and others in the region, found themselves in the embarrassing situation of trying to put out a blaze at their own premises.

While there hasn't been an official statement about the source of the blaze, it appears as though a lithium ion battery charger started the inferno.

That’ll teach ‘em not to let immigrants store their stolen e-bikes in the station.
