Question:

Why are lightning rods so rare in Denver?

When I used to visit my grandparents in rural Iowa, it seemed that every house and barn had lightning rods. I live in Colorado which has some of the fiercest lightning storms in the country, and it seems nobody has lightning rods on buildings. Why not?

Answer:

If you are out of work, then yes, you can file for unemployment. However, if the employer can show that you were fired (or suspended) for cause, then you will not be entitled to the unemployment.
No. These often times aren't even covered by state laws. In my state city/county ordinances cover the requirements for some of those markings. Fire hydrants and fire lanes anyway. Crosswalks are covered under state law. Again, at least in my state. Traffic laws on military installations are taken from the state the installation is in, so would be the same. So any markings would be the same. The post commander can make additional rules, but all the state traffic laws still apply. When I was stationed at Ft. Benning Georgia law at that time allowed people over 18 to ride in the bed of a pickup truck except on the interstate. However we had some guys killed on base when a truck over turned. So the base commander changed it so that no one could ride in the bed of a truck on base. So they can make the rules stricter, but not less strict. So in Georgia since some of those are covered under city/county ordinances rather than state law on Ft. Benning those were covered under the base's rules.
Probably first responders EMT workers and such. Look at video of many disasters big and small and you'll always see survivors wrapped in blankets.
