This past Thanksgiving holiday, In November 2025, a fire in Hong Kong killed hundreds. Residents heard NO alarm. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

That's not just a tragedy — it's a wake-up call about why fire alarm systems aren't optional. They're the difference between escape and disaster.

In this episode, we break down: 

How fast fire actually spreads (spoiler: you have less than 5 minutes)

Why the Hong Kong towers went up so fast (bamboo scaffolding + plastic netting = fuel ladder from hell) 

What temperatures you're dealing with in a real fire (600°F at eye level) 

Why proper fire alarm design isn't just code compliance — it's your only shot at getting people out alive

If you're an electrician, fire alarm tech, or anyone in the trades — this is YOUR reminder that the work you do literally saves lives.

Key Takeaways:

• Modern fires reach flashover in under 30 seconds
• Smoke and toxic gases kill faster than flames
• Proper detection systems buy you the seconds that save lives
• The Hong Kong tragedy shows what happens when safety fails
