Funny Firefighting Laws

Here is a post about some wacky firefighting laws that are still on the books in various states (from My Journal! yes it is smarty pants!). Here are some of my favorites:

In Chicago Illinois, It is illegal to eat in a place that is on fire.

...

In Fort Madison Iowa, The fire department is required to practice firefighting for 15 minutes before attending a fire.

...

In Pennsylvania, All fire hydrants must be checked 1 hour before all fires.

This is too funny. I'll have to do a little research to see if there is anything like this still in effect in SD.
