>>3590014thank god for /pol, I thought no one would ever understand.
I was a security guard for 4 years while I did college and I saw the firefighters in "action" every fucking day.
Here in my province the firefighters helped write the firecode and they made it in such a way that it increases the number of calls made to the fire hall. Like if an alarm goes off and it's CLEARLY a false alarm - like if I see a small child pull the pull station - I wasn't allowed to reset the system, oh no, I had to call the fucking fire department.
Or if someone burned their toast and it set off the smoke alarm, I and the superintendent of the building weren't allowed to just reset the alarm, oh no, by law we were required to call the fucking fire dept. I worked at my college in the student dorm, and students set the fucking smoke alarm off every goddamn day burning their food or lighting a joint where they shouldn't be lighting one, etc. The fire dept came every fucking day and every day it was for bullshit. 99% of their calls are for bullshit but all those calls jack up the stats so that their budget doesn't get cut.
And if that werent enough, they keep adding more retarded shit to the laws that is fucknig annoying. In my province, every door must have a heavy door closer on it BY LAW. So when you are trying to carry your dinner from the kitchen to the living room, you drop your food on the floor because the door slams on you and you're not allowed to remove the closer because if the dept comes for a surprise inspection (once a year) and find you removed it, it's a $500 fine.
FUCK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
