A day in the life – Where are the fire extinguishers in Paris ???

Posted on March 4, 2011 | 9 Comments

So this is something that’s been bothering me for a little bit and I’m not sure why other than having fire alarms around is something like being told to buckle your seat when you get in the car. When I was little it was just assumed. ….or else the car wouldn’t go…
In elementary school you have fire drills, and you always have to check the fire alarm when you move into an apartment. In Paris, though, old buildings don’t (yet) have fire alarms in all of them and apparently fire extinguishers aren’t required in every building.

No worries. Castorama took care of me.

Watch out fires. Watch out. And bring on the chicha.

The other “day in a life” videos are here 😉

And don’t forget to test your fire extinguisher

 

THANK YOU to Angela and Victor 🙂

    just think about it… if every parisian was like you (and they are :p ), all estinguishers will be empty,so no need of estinguishers!

    Well, if there was a fire alarm every 10 meters in the metro, it would be triggered every 30 minutes, you surely know how disciplined parisians are…
    But that would be good excuse for coming late to work 🙂
