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.
Lol wut? Aren't there formal requirements for the presence of fire alarms in any kind of building?
There are, but do you know who checks that a building is OK? Take a guess.
Building inspectors
Geoff?
Requirements often depend on the type of building occupancy and the chance of fire spread to neighboring buildings.
There are but from what I've read none were required for this building, because it was only used as storage.

It's also wordplay. "Brand" means "fire"_
This "experts" should be held accountable for once.
I'm thinking 🤔 maybe that's okay because the fire department lives in the building. You know so they should be able to put out the first?
I hope those "experts" have their feet held to the fire over this
