A fire alarm system wasn't installed in the building because experts did not consider it necessary.

A new fire station in Germany that was destroyed in a fire, causing millions of euros in damage, did not have a fire alarm system.

The fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Stadtallendorf fire station in Hesse and destroyed the equipment hall and almost a dozen emergency vehicles, according to local media.

Initial estimates put the damage at between €20 million and €24 million. No one was injured.

Local officials told the German news agency dpa that no fire alarm system was installed in the building because experts had considered it not necessary — much to the astonishment of many observers now that the station has burned down.

Still weird that you call Hessen Hesse in English. Just looks like the end is missing.

Gude ( local salutation from Hesse ). The state is called Hesse, the people are Hessian or Hessen. Written as I sit in a bar in Hesse.

Ja mit dem Nutzernamen muss ich dir den Hessen wohl abnehmen :D

Aber Hessen als Gegend heisst doch nur auf Englisch "Hesse" und auf Deutsch "Hessen" oder verwurstle ich da was?

Im Hessischen Dialekt heißt Hessen Hesse.
