Great pic. Am I to understand there was a large fire exp held in China? Is there one every year? Also, given your vast knowledge of Asia, do you know if ever asian country or certain countries have a fire expos every year. I know we have a large one in Indianapolis every year. What about Asia? Thanks again.

The little balconies appear to be totally inaccessible from the windows. Perhaps the design was intended to encourage the firefighters to practice their ladder work?

We do not see many seven bay fire stations these days. However - my home town, Darlington, built one many years ago to replace their cramped Victorian four bay station. I do not think it was ever actually home to more than three or four front line appliances, unless quite a few were alternately manned.
