| Comment | The number of fire engines scales not by the size of the fire, but by the size of the building where the alarm was triggered. One of those blocks of student digs would need 3 engines easily, even if it was a false alarm. Imagine if they sent one then had to be like "eh boss it turns out there actually is a fire this time" and the thing was a raging inferno before the other two got there. Think of the headlines: "JUST LOOk WHAT THE SNP HAVE DONE NOW". |
