Aaaaaand I’m up because some new homeowner decided to “change the batteries” and started pushing buttons on his fire alarm at 0330 hours. #FireDept #VFD

At least it’s early enough I may get back to sleep.

@athena_rose922 in #Germany it's the other way around, as worst #police can do is take someone in for 24 hours.

Whereas obstructing emergency services like #FireDept & #Ambulance can easily result in a fine of €15k & up to 6 months of prison if one refuses to comply with an order to leave a scene/area.
