Stadtallendorf fire station was not legally required to have alarms because it was classified as a building holding equipment

      The home directly next door to our town fire station (less than 200 yards away) burned down when I was in high school. Also it was also the fire chief’s former house.

      We kinda always assumed it was for insurance money, but I really have no idea.

      They’re almost certainly volunteer fire fighters given that this is a rather small town, so there might not have been any present at the time.
