Hmm...wonder what the fire department would think of this?

I was covering at an account I haven't been to in a while last week, and was back there again today and was reminded of this.

I was walking through the main building lobby (this is a multi-tenant building) to the cafe when I passed by a fire hose cabinet. I've seen many of these and they don't usually merit a second glance, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed something. I stopped and looked and a few seconds later realized that the freaking nozzle was missing! It had been unscrewed from the hose and was missing.

And I just realized I meant to send a note along to the facilities dept about that but forgot

EDIT: Just fired off an email to my contact there about it.

That wouldn't be too helpful in an actual fire, I'm thinking ...

Most fire apparatus carry spare nozzles (hubbys engine had at least 2 smaller wild land hose size which is what most building internal lines are). Also most fire systems are sprinkler systems and the engines/tankers feed water into the main pipes in the fire system. They use their hoses, not the building ones because they know how theirs are maintained but not how the building equipment is.

Question is, who took it and what the heck did they want it for??

Money. Scrap metal especially copper is very valuable these days.

Our fire inspector would say good and tell the the building that they should get rid of it as it is no longer required in our state's fire code and dangerous if an idiot decides to try to fight the fire instead of getting to safety.
