  1. fluffy the fish says:

    Built by a rocket surgeon, no doubt.

  2. Chocolatelovemuffin says:

    I do declare that there be a “Z” missin’ from that there Verizon ad… lawdy!!!

  3. Dave says:

    The fire valve is for the invisible microscopic gnomes who live inside the panel. The bar keeps the fire from spreading to the human world.

    Yeah, that’s the ticket.

  4. SomeGuy says:

    Sweet.

  5. Benjamin says:

    What you don’t know is that there is a chainsaw just out of shot. The idea is that you cut the handrail away with your Swiss Army Knife and use the chainsaw to open the door with no handle.

  6. Mookie says:

    Well at least that railing should keep the venomous reptiles at bay.

  7. Nishido says:

    You see the people who put the rail there thought ‘Gee… doesn’t make much sense it saying ‘Safety Fail’… I know….’

  8. Rich says:

    We have a similar situation at my school. I recently found out that the section of rail at that point can be lifted out so the fire department can do their thing if needed.

  9. Mikey D says:

    That is architwats for you.

  10. DrB says:

    Is that a fir rail?

  11. scotteh says:

    See, this is EXACTLY why you cant sell that fire extinguisher!!

  12. Phaet says:

    So they keep the valve safe.

  13. Dragonwriter says:

    That etype is SO arch.

  14. weinerbagel says:

    i

  15. Captain Awesome says:

    It’s as Inpu, Zeppelin, Santa, and Lincoln have feared. The ancient Greeks and Scientologists are clearly working with the venomous reptiles to violate our precious fire codes. They’ve also been using their Tom Cruise missiles on innocent civilians and have been very naughty. Santa’s going to be leaving a dark-colored present they’re not going to like and it’s not going to be coal. Hint: it explains why he brings toilet paper with him everywhere he goes.

  16. Mrs_Z says:

    *voiceover by Morgan Freeman* I wish I could tell you that Andy Dufresne took that old rock hammer with him when he escaped from Shawshank prison. I wish I could tell you that he used it to bust his way out of the FIRE DEPT. VALVE door. But, no. Andy had crawled to freedom through 500 yards of foul-smelling sewer pipe, only to find his way blocked by a misplaced handrail. And what he was doing inside the FIRE DEPT. VALVE system, after dying in a fiery London bus crash, I can’t even imagine, or maybe I just don’t want to.

  17. k-k-k-katy says:

    *digs in Lunchbox’s pants; steals innuendo machine*
    It’s been my experience that fire hoses enjoy hiding in boxes.

    • k-k-k-katy says:

      *thwacks Failblog with a wet noodle*
      Now, why did it decide to put this here? And why did it just redirect me to yellowpages.com?
      *hands machine back to Lunchbox*
      Here, hopefully this will appease the gods of Failblog.

  18. Andrés says:

    Hi! is my first time
    what i wrote jejeje
    okok well, bye
    i love this Blog.!

  19. Andrés says:

    yeah!

  20. Caliban says:

    It’s only fail if the door to the valve swings vertically not horizontally. Press the top. Open the bottom to access the valve. It would never pass inspection if there wasn’t a way for the fire department to quickly access that panel.

    • czuhc says:

      I have a fuel tank lid that opens like that (push left side, right side opens), easy if you know it, but there have been a few gas station helpers who couldn’t get it open.

    • Redpsyclone says:

      Actually, there are no hinges. When I went to investigate it further, the panel fell off and a long chain fell out, making a ruckus and a bigger fail.

      But still, the placement of it wasn’t given much thought.

    • nate says:

      It’s also a fail if there is a fire. If you are falling down and you need a hand rail to catch yourself it works quite well!

  21. czuhc says:

    I have a fuel tank lid that opens like that, easy if you know it, but there have been a few gas station operators whou couldn’t get it open.

  22. Eddy says:

    Cool… safety first always :) )

  23. Catflap says:

    Its to prevent firemen from getting at the *insert potatoe here* valves and hoses. Forcing them to go and polish their firemen’s helmets by themselves. Fire regulation 1.1.5 b rev.6.021

  24. Catflap says:

    I just loves me some fire dept. valve

  25. dusty.mcmichael@gmail.com says:

    so i quess no one noticed the virison was mested up

  26. dusty.mcmichael@gmail.com says:

    nevermind didnt read all the comments

  27. 4realb says:

    It should be noted that, despite the funny juxtaposition, that this type of valve is only used to turn OFF the system once it has been activated, not to turn it on or control it in any other way. I don’t know if you’ve all noticed or not, but fire fighters usually carry axes, and that 16ga steel door does not really provide much of a barrier for one of those.

    VERI ON – means blood is in estonian
