... last night NOT ONE siren went off!
Not the alarm in the apartment that was on fire,
and the building alarm never went off either.

And they still haven't replaced the fire extinguishers
that were lost in last years' hurricanes.


Talk to your Firefighter / EMT Buddie George - ASAP!

Fire Alarms that malfunction and Missing fire extinguishers are
probably both Violations of State and Local LAWS!

Call the Fire Department on their business line (NOT 9-1-1) and
ask to talk to a Fire Inspector -
Tell him/her about the Fire Alarm not working for an actual fire,
and where the extinguishers should be that are missing.
Request that the Inspector make an inspection and demand that
the building owner repair and replace the required safety equipment.

Ask that the Inspector report back to you... give him/her a week.
If you don't hear anything (or see the extinguishers) - call 'em back!
