Fire Hydrant, Pyramids Business Centre

It is pretty rare to see a fire hydrant ever getting used and rarer still to find one attached and unattended, and quite so shiny. There were also three other smaller but fairly similar shiny red things sticking out from the lawn in front of the building. A quick web search reveals that a data storage centre has recently been opened in part of the large building, formerly a mobile phone factory. A lot is made of their 24 hour surveillance and super secure area for this government funded venture. Maybe this is something else to put potential customers' minds at ease, showing that they have reduced the risk of a fire taking hold of the data as much as they possibly can. Incidentally, the fire station is probably just a minute's drive away too. Or maybe it is just that certain Covid vaccines are dangerously flammable. There has been a vaccination centre here since they became available.
