Hahahah
In August 2021 a social housing unit for substance abusers in Bergen, Norway (22 apartments, 30 residents) was destroyed in a catastrophic fire. Unusually there were no casualties at all. Although the interiors were sensibly built with fire alarms and sprinkler systems the fire is thought to have started outside on a balcony on the ground floor. The main reason for the zero casualties is given as the unusually "connected" residents, very different from normal Norwegian apartment buildings. Everyone basically knew everyone else, their habits, any visitors, physical and mental health status, habits and handicaps. By the time the police had arrived the tenants had already finished evacuating. Even though there were neighborly conflicts (not everyone got along), when the fire started (since the source was outside fire alarms and sprinklers were mostly irrelevant, only a quarter of the resident had even heard an alarm) the residents acted fast. Being connected to the people around you can save your life. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2521dbfbfe2010f5fc83a7e71a0dc05ffd5738e40ba7cc2a9490545631f28038.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5daa9fa89c20d5e0426a0793b3ab4d2358f2c6a2bb181409691edc4c4a466033.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/10fc0e595cd76118f73d5aa107a8f9d5592de0c2eb33d8bb72351f0af565860e.file
People don't realize that modern interiors are mostly fuel in solid form. That is why fires burn faster and hotter with more poisonous gases year by year: the places where live and play and work are more and more filled with things that catch fire in an instant. And don't trust in anything that has been treated with "flame retardants". At best it will give you 20-40 extra seconds before ignition. At best.

In the greater Tokyo Metropolitan area you will find the most skilled train drivers on the Fukutoshin Line, with a wide variety of companies, trains, timetables, routes and so on. But the most savvy riders or customers, are the veteran customers of the Keikyu line, easily the most demanding railway operator in the region. The red livery really means beware. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dc05f6b1ec04ad4ffba1ff7872b3894709603e13598b92055c02b9718cf44e3f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e48a3184aef9a773881cc3a8b8c30c0c49f6dc1eb6e2a41ae952638641dd5d96.file
