> no fire

Trying to think of a place where there is no chance of fire and all I’m coming up with is the moon

A lot of places (e.g the village i live in) have volunteer fire teams which only really need equipment and training, it’s much cheaper than having a 24/7 paid fire department.

Obviously doesn’t scale to a city.
