At a guess..architects who haven't watched the Towering Inferno (the ones who save a few quid for the jerry building developer) or the planning department (staffed by jobsworths who insist on wearing goggles to play conkers but have no idea what H&S is really about) for passing the plans.

This was a retained fire station..i.e. a place generally only used in an emergency, staffed by people who only attend on call outs or training.....do you expect them to do a 2 hour pen and paper fire safety check before they go out on an emergency shout or would you rather they arrived at your house to save your kids?

I guess it's easy to knock brave people currently sat at home with their pagers beside them, constantly ready to put their lives on the line, using a 'silly season' story as evidence and thereby justifying moronic cutbacks that are hazardous to every single one of us.

Your argument is just a 'cheap shot'.
