Firepool not unique.
editUse of swimming pools as a water source for firefighting is common in Australia.
The assertion that "this is the only firepool in existence" is ridiculous. Is Google broken in your country ?
Type "swimming pool firefighting" and you will see a multitude of links to equipment supplies and official guidelines from firefighting organizations. Lathamibird (talk) 11:09, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
- That's not the point. Using water from a swimming pool to fight fires is common, but telling the world "this is not a swimming pool, it is a firepool" and thus try to justify a luxury item as an "essential security feature" that the taxpayer must pay for, is basically the controversy.
