I think Brian Potter’s Construction Physics substack had an article about fire safety in the IS relative to western Europe. Part of the issue is that small (<5 story) apartment buildings here are more often than not built on a wood frame instead of concrete walls and floors. This is cheaper, easier to modify, and emits less carbon, but the difference in fire risk is noticeable.
"But whatabout the fire dept?" was an argument against the Seminary Road reconfiguration. Nevermind that there were are medians right next to the ER entrance at Alexandria Hospital.
I remember 30+ years ago seeing "Ashgrove Plantation" development coming out of Vienna next to Tysons and thinking "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot." Actually, being middle school, I wasn't that familiar with the NATO alphabet....
"Operation the Cheese Stands Alone" was the subject of that folk classic, "Peter Bazooka."
