Proof that you should always have a working smoke alarm... taken to the extreme!

Lucky no one was hurt too.

Very good advice. Install one and keep spare batteries.

Or have yours wired in to the mains, like ours!

Good luck when you have a fire during a powercut!

Sorry, I forgot to omit the battery.

I appreciate the reasons given by West Sussex fire bridage for the lack of smoke alarm, but surely it's nothing to publicly broadcast simply because at least 1 person might think "Fire stations don't need fire alarms, so why should i get one"

Isn't it a good idea to broadcast it? People can see, "Ah, that's what happens when you don't have a fire alarm" and go out and fit a new battery into theirs. The unusual way in which the point is raised, being in a humerous rather than Public Information Broadcast-esque type way, could mean more people take notice of it.
