nativehoustonion Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I was at Market Square last weekend and that building is tall! Does HFD has a plan if there is a fire on the top floors? Or they could use the pool to put out the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Found an answer for you on Quora Quote In a big fire like this the result comes down to the sprinkler system. If it is intact and effective the fire will be extinguished. If it is not effective then the fire will eventually burn itself out. Quote A small kitchen fire that would require 15 or so firefighters in a bungalow is almost an automatic second alarm for evacuation, doubling the number of firefighters.

Usually, they allow anyone up after that point or else you'll have a lot of pissed off people driving all the way over there and not able to go up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that some dry cleaners deliver to highrises around town. I am surprised that these folks aren't simply arranging for pickup/delivery of dry cleaning. groceries? How would that work? If all they are going to do is "pickup groceries", does that mean that are cutting a deal with Randal's, Pheonicia, or whole foods, or somewhere to have the employees of the grocer "shop", based on a website order or phone order,and then have the apartment's "runners" go get it? Or are they saying that the apartment "runners" will also "shop" the order in the store? Hard to imagine the later and very curious on the former.

Instacart / Favor / Uber Eats / etc. all offer grocer runners at this point for HEB / Whole Foods / Sam's Club / etc. Imagine it will be through a service like that. It's not that big of an amenity. I live in a non-doorman building and have my dry cleaning picked up and dropped off every week and am having my groceries delivered by Instacart today at 7pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my dry cleaning picked up and dropped off at my building. Today I ran down there in my undershirt because I ran out of clothes. When I came back upstairs, I thought about how much better it would be if they picked it up from IN my place and put it back IN my closet. Then I realized how lazy I am. Then I tripped over my roomba. Edited March 31, 2016 by kbates2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
