As a firefighter, I can’t imagine trying to get ladders or an aerial into those middle sections, should it be needed.
I hope a diff angle would show easier access.
- newaccount2021 4y agothe building is literally right beside a road, just park your truck where you need to put up the ladder... not that anyone in Rome would want you to put out a fire there, I'm sure they are all praying an earthquake will relieve them of this brutalist masterpiece
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoI'd hazard a guess that a professional fire fighter is better at judging the challenges here than rando hnews posters... so perhaps you could ask for what you're missing instead of being so dismissive?
- flandish 4y agoThank you. I was speaking to the interior corridor(s), when fire is blowing from the “road side” - going to the corridor will be attempted next.
- worik 4y agoCan you not just park a truck in the road? How is it different from a normal ten (?) story building? Do you need 360 degree access?
- flandish 4y agoSort of. Your “max” vertical reach eventually puts your ladder / tower truck too close to the building. Either for collapse or other reasons. Re 360 - no and yes. Someone will always do a full building walkaround. But I was thinking more of the interior corridor.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoThere are interior courtyards that presumably cannot be accessed by truck.
