SFOGuysays...At one point, the City of Detroit was too poor to buy them toilet paper.
I stopped by the station in this video and gave them a donation.
The documentary "Burn" covers the whole story in an incredibly gripping manner.
entr0pysays...I have no doubt they're underfunded and it's not a good situation.
But, they have a PC with speakers right there, couldn't they use like a $10 fax / modem and have some loud sound play on incoming faxes? They need a visit from some volunteer geek wizard who's familiar with such arcane technology.
Stormsingersays...Yeah, this is a made-up piece of BS. They have -real- problems, so why is this video making shit up?
Or if these guys really are this stupid, they have bigger issues than a lack of money.

antsays...Still using Windows XP. How can they afford a Mac keyboard?
Paybackjokingly says...Ya, people who run INTO burning buildings and save lives and property are idiots if they don't know how to program a computer, because -y'know like- everyone who has a computer knows how to program it.
Seriously though... there's some serious irony in the fire hazard wiring of their bell system.

FlowersInHisHairsays...They're idiots if they don't try to find a better solution than a soda can balanced on a printer, yes. They could find someone who knows how to set up an audible alarm when a fax comes in to a PC quite easily.
