A large fire raged through the building at a time when firefighters were taking industrial action.

My daughter’s school.

I’d hazard a guess that getting the Birkenhead or Takapuna fire station’s teams on site in less than 17 minutes would be challenging anyway, let alone the Silverdale team on site that quickly.

But, fuck you Simeon Brown:

At the time, Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown said he was “angry” on behalf of those impacted by the fire due to it happening during the strike.

Firefighters, nurses, teachers: give them whatever the hell they ask for. None of them do those jobs for the money you facist nationalist pigs.

    That’s good to hear. All that drama and only half a day off school, too.

      She’s also a hoot.

      Someone triggered the fire alarm last year and she was really annoyed.

      “Some idiot didn’t want to go to class so they tripped the alarm. They’re too stupid to realize they could just not show up.”
