Explanation / Answer

The firepoles are installed between the floors of firestations so that firefighters can descend the floors quickly to respond to the call of distress. It replaced the staircases which believed to have increased the response time for the firefighters. The firepoles, though ensured swift movement, but also posed risk of injury or even fractured bones in case of a fall or a slippage, or landing on a protruding part. To prevent this, now a days the multilevel fire stations are not being built in many countries, thus eliminating need for poles. Where they exist, there must be anti slip or anti fall measures in place to eliminate ay chances of injury to the users. There is no need for an award in this case, because these poles will slowly slide into oblivion as the time saved through them becomes insignificant, in the wake of flatter firestations.
