      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.

    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.

      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.
