A brand new German fire station that burned down did not have a fire alarm system
Briefly

Locally, the Stadtallendorf fire station, which was less than a year old, lacked a fire alarm system deemed unnecessary by experts, leading to catastrophic damage and loss.
The blaze, resulting from a vehicle with lithium-ion batteries, caused an estimated 20 to 24 million euros in losses, highlighting the critical need for proper safety measures.
Norbert Fischer, head of the State Fire Brigade Association, suggested that this incident will prompt reevaluation of fire protection standards for future fire stations.
Despite recent advancements in safety technology, the absence of a fire alarm at a new fire station raises urgent questions about adherence to and assessment of safety protocols.
