Well that conversation took an interesting turn following your comments. Lack of big picture. I particularly liked fire protection easy--urban planning hard. Good analysis. I once was working on a building in downtown Seattle when every fire company from every battalion from every station from as far away as Belltown, Georgetown, Beacon Hill, and Capitol Hill, not to mention the three downtown houses showed up, cordoned off several blocks and started evacuating buildings. Seems that the tank from one of those parking garage gas stations had ruptured and the next building down the hill (Alaska Building), one without a garage but a couple of basement levels, had three inches of gas on the lower floor. That was the end of those types of businesses in Seattle. Cheers. -- Ron Greenman Instructor Fire Protection Engineering Bates Technical College Tacoma, WA
