missusblack

I'm concerned about the state of your paragraph.

Also, if we removed the poles all the firemen would fall through the holes.

so am i.

having reviewd it i could have put it better.

point remains.

why slide a floor down. why not live on the action floor.must be a second or two in it. could be a life saver

codrulz

because they hope that if they continue going down the poles eventually 50s will slip into their back pocket!

A lack of space.

Ground floor is taken up with equipment, vehicles and offices.

Also when they are not fighting fires they use the poles to practice their routine for stripping at hen parties.

admiralofthefleet

cause they are all puddle jumpers and like sliding down poles

i cant properly quote your post,

on account of my newness,can you smell it?

thought not.

bur that is such a sexist remark.
not all ladies like a stripping fireman. only nine in ten.

please rephrase as a gender neutral slur

Until 1878, spiral staircases or sliding chutes were common, but not particularly fast. Fire houses were also equipped with spiral staircases so the horses would not try to climb the stairs into the living quarters

Seriously horses climb stairs

Tut Tut...

and fair play to them. they dont have a lot of time off, take what you can get

One rule; if ye can't lift it don't try to shift it ( unless ye have a good excuse sussed )

It's only so gay men can say "I wouldn't mind sliding down his pole, nudge nudge, wink wink"

kind of knew thisd detior\ate into madness but can someone honestly answer the queston it because the horses used to stink? actually quite like to know why.

love some jokes as well but ultimately why do firemen live on the first floor.

yeah they look cool sliding on down, but is it necessary?

Firehouses in cities were small and it is cheaper to build up than out, trucks went downstairs while people were upstairs. fastest way from a to b is by pole.

i was expecting this to develo[p into a semi serious dscussion,

im disappoited,

i just wanted to improve fire services. and i mean globally.

if i could make a small differenece, like them all living on th ground

floor i reckon i could cut fire deaths by whatever percent they clsim to be now minus the

thye deaths by fire which could be prevented using ky ides.

yeah its funnyy but it can alsao save lives

In my town the firemen don't even sleep in the station. They get a call on their beeper and they drive into the station.

You should present your well researched findings to the Dail! We could move all firestations to Bungalows that don't have stiras!

They're right you know, this is exactly why (except the offices were often upstairs too).

Fire stations where there was plenty of space (e.g. Galway City) were sometimes built on one level.

Not sure it really saves time tho, the other advantage of the pole system is that you get from A to B using gravity.
