Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en

Fire safety is a system of measures aimed at preventing fires and minimizing their consequences, ensuring the protection of people, property, and the environment.

I mean, the fire inspector does have a point.

Absolutely, yes: workspace safety is crucial and even before they try to add the forge (in a safer location than right next to the woodwork!) a fire cabinet makes sense in a shop thats got woodworking going on.

Is jumping straight to a fine on their first fire inspection before they’ve even set up the forge warranted? How exactly did the fire inspector end up showing up now?

I’m probably rooting for small-business-owner-gabi too much, but it seemed like a bit of overkill for a first inspection - especially when this universe apparently doesn’t require a lumber mill to provide helmets for workers.

yeah I can't lie I was actually worried about this lol

I've been glancing at these for a while now, they're pretty cool and cute.

Um, excuse me. Fire safety is fucking NOT capitalism.

That's right, fire safety is a system of measures aimed at preventing fires and minimizing their consequences, ensuring the protection of people, property, and the environment.

Poor smol bean business owners oppressed by having to confirm to fire codes.

Godspeed Gabby I'm rooting for ya.

This one's a bit of a callback to the shoe-maker one where you had a shoe-maker without any feet. In this one we've got a fire safety inspector with very visible burns.

I am a sucker for these kinds of visual jokes.

I am a sucker for these kinds of visual jokes.

Is it a gag or a bit of background storytelling like the smith lizard's (war?) injuries? Since his uniform is reminiscent of a firefighter's bunker gear I read it as either he's a firefighter who also does inspections and has been injured on the job, or he was a firefighter and now does related bureaucratic stuff for them after being severely injured fighting a fire.

Straight to a fine, now warnings? new-hire-mad

Know what the difference is between God and the Fire Marshal?

God doesn't think he's a fire marshal.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I believe in the fire marshal.

[–] PointyFluff@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

and he actually helps people.

greedy asshole companies are the ones who skimp on fire-safety

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

I’m probably rooting for small-business-owner-gabi too much […] this universe apparently doesn’t require a lumber mill to provide helmets for workers.

I certainly don’t want her to skimp on safety, their track record here has been better than the baseline seems to be, so I’d hope that education would be a sufficient first and final step.
