  Sprinklers – are they useful or not?

  Posted on December 19, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  Think about this little problem that has arisen twice in my recent Fire Risk Assessments. The premises is a four bedroom bungalow, in which there is supported living for mentally and physically disabled persons.   John is  a large person whom staff cannot lift manually, to the extent that a special hoist has to be used to [...]

  Sawdust in workplaces

  Posted on December 18, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  Sawdust accumulations make for a severe hazard because if the sawdust is stirred up it acts like a gas and is well capable of exploding.   The worst case is that a fire starts, a fire-fighting jet stirs up the dust, an explosion follows; more dust is stirred up and then an even bigger explosion follows.  [...]

  Fire exits

  Posted on December 18, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  If there’s one thing guaranteed to annoy your local Fire Officer, it’s a key in a box to open up the fire exit.   Arrangements like this simply don’t work over a long period.  Someone gets to the exit. desperate to get out because there’s a fire. and the key no longer fits the lock.     ( I’ve [...]

  Aerosols in fire

  Posted on December 16, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  Think about this.  Aerosols are stored in a cupboard.  A fire starts, for whatever reason.    The canisters heat up.  As they get hotter they pressurise.     The contents are flammable – you can see the warning symbol on the back of most aerosol canisters.   The pressure increases as the aerosols get hotter, until finally one fails, exploding [...]

  Fire Risk Assessments – furnishings

  Posted on December 16, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  There’s no way a worn-out tatty old chair like this can be said to meet ignition standards, so our Fire Risk Assessment is going to recommend that you get it repaired or get it replaced.

  Extinguishers in residential blocks

  Posted on December 16, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  We’ve had a bit of fuss these last few years over whether or not extinguishers should be available in residential blocks.  The landlord provides foam extinguishers, a resident uses foam, say, on a burning toaster – and gets electrocuted.  Where does that leave the landlord?   Ok then, we’ll put in carbon dioxide extinguishers as well.    Residents [...]

  Top Storey Club Fire

  Posted on December 12, 2011 by bill in NewsFeed

  50 YEARS AGO THE TOP STOREY CLUB, BOLTON,   1ST MAY 1961 by Bill Armstrong It seems a little strange that a fire in Bolton town centre could have taken 19 lives only for it to have drifted back into the mists of time over the 50 years since it happened.    Let’s take a look at [...]
