i've led firefighter familiarization training at particle accelerators and while they are absolute labyrinths, at least they had preplans and signage lol

New York suppression would call this “collier’s mansion syndrome” for rich fucks.

I was thinking the only way to handle this is to give the local FD a complete floor plan.

No, I get that, I'm saying that like particle accelerators, hospitals, etc, the owner should give the FD a complete floor plan, cuz I'm all for doing whatever weird shit you want with your home, but if something happens, you want emergency services to be able to find you.

There's a place called the red lion inn a little way from me and the local fire companies do an all- hands refresher on the layout very often. The place is like a stack of load-bearing mudrooms and dormers at dutched angles.

The Red Lion Inns here burned down years ago. All 3 of em in fact. Years apart. The 4th one got torn down before it went up. Used to do conventions in em decades ago & their layouts were crazy. Huge, winding corridors and tiny access staff rooms, panels, & maintenance halls snaking all over

I stayed in a pub in Exeter that was a bit like that. Originally built in the 1500s and then haphazardly extended for 500 years. Hardly any two rooms were at the same floor level

I hope this is because the first bits of it were built in 1153 or something, before they invented firefighting or the right angle, and it's just agglomerated since then.

I'm like 99% sure you're talking about the same Red Lion Inn I'm thinking of, and yeah from what I've heard from musicians I know who've played dinner gigs there, it seems like bringing heavy equipment during a literal emergency would be a nightmare without training

Yeah that's the one. Stockbridge MA. That whole Main Street is as cute as a fuckin button and Alice's restaurant from the song is still open altho it's not called that, isn't it ever was. Nice stroll if you have an hour.

Yeah Stockbridge is absolutely adorable! I grew up/live an hour East of it and some of my favorite memories are of how picturesque it looks after a blanket of snow

Drove into there from New York to tick the state from my “driven in” list. It is a cute town and if I get back to the Hudson Valley I’ll make a side trip.

You can't swing an autumn weekend without hitting a small town that's cute as shit in western mass. I think that's the Berkshire tourism bureau's slogan. Hudson is where I spend more time. It's funky and cool if a little of-the-moment. Hope u first nd a good un!

There is a Red Lion in Silver Lake, Los Angeles that 100% fits this description. Must be a requirement of the name?

When I was in the department in a small town in Alaska we would practice finding our way around large vessels below deck in full bunker while blindfolded. That was very hard. This would be harder.

I had a project working with a well-known Fire chief and he told me of the frequency in which firefighters would find themselves lost in walk-in closets. This was in response to someone’s proposal of GPS tracking prototypes for fire fighters.

That's one thing I always think about at large hospitals. Especially old ones that were built and rebuilt over time. Absolute mazes.
