Security Gates Block Firefighters
Some New Zealand firefighters were blocked from a fire by security gates to a ritzy neighborhood (from stuff.co.nz via FireFightingNews.com).
Firefighters trying to get to a ferocious bush fire threatening multi million-dollar homes at Closeburn Station were blocked by the exclusive subdivision's gates, Closeburn resident Blair McKenzie said yesterday.The fire truck and crew were waiting outside the gate helpless because they didn't know the code to activate and open the gates and no one was there to meet them, he said.
Oops. Do you have security gates in your jurisdictions? If so, can you open them (without forcible entry tools - hehehe)?
