You Just Could Not Make This Up!

Britain's National Fire Service Training College burnt out, a total mess of the building and £1.3million of damage to 11 fire engines, why so much damage? no sprinklers! yes read that again no sprinklers, the reason? a lame brain excuse, one worker said: ' We are always told that large commercial buildings should have sprinklers but it seems the fire college did not practise what it preaches.' a spokesman for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue said: 'There was not enough risk to life to justify putting a sprinkler system in the building, it is essentially a large warehouse with lots of open doors, so in terms of risk assessment it would not qualify', you have got to be joking! try telling that to your insurance company when you make a claim under the same circumstances! once they stopped laughing and threw you out of the office!
