Not where I really want to be
Underneath 2nd floor stairwell. Nice!

Oh come on... Looks like they have a jug of anti-freeze. Isn't that the same as a sprinkler system?

Now I remember, it is prohibited because it could explode.
 
Where is the gas furnace with the paint brushes soaking in the open mason jar of gasoline sitting on it?

And yes I have fought that fire mid afternoon and the kids just did make it down the steps.
 
There is a 5 story motel on the beach in Clearwater Beach, FL that I've stayed at several times. I noticed once that there actually was a lawnmower with gasoline stored at grade level under the south stairway. I reported it to the city.
 
Missing drywall and who knows what is in the anti-freeze bottle.
