Record fine for High Street Store

January 6, 2010

“New Look” a major High street store has received a record fine of £400,000 for major breaches in fire safety, plus the store had to pay £136,000 costs, after horrific fire at the store.

The London store based in Oxford Street, was inspected and various failings were found such as; not having enough fire exits, staff not having suitable or sufficient fire awareness training.

The Judge said “this fire could have been a major disaster almost too awful to contemplate.

The court heard how the shop was busy with shoppers with smoke bellowing out of a window on the second floor. With the fire alarm sounding it turned off and shoppers were allowed to continue shopping. When the fire alarm reactivated, the staff once again failed to react.

The staff only became aware of the fire when passers-by where shouting to the staff that the building was on fire.

The fine of £400,000 is the biggest given to a company in the UK for breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came in to force in 2006.  This is the biggest record financial fine given to a company for breaches of fire safety.

Companies must start taking their fire safety responsibilities seriously, the above is a grieve warning when it is not. A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement, plus fire awareness training, fire alarm maintenance, etc.

Fire alarms designed to reduce, false alarms

Fire Systems Ltd, is an independent fire alarm installer, with some advice on a mixed fire alarm system and its benefits.

There are different types of fire alarm systems that can be in installed (Wireless fire alarms, wired addressable fire alarms and basic conventional systems). The fire alarm systems, should be in accordance with there commendations of BS 5839-6 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings, which is the Code of practice for the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in dwellings. This details different grades of system and extent of coverage and recommends an appropriate system based on the risk the premises present.

Relatively simple systems will be satisfactory for smaller, low-risk premises, but larger houses and HMOs will require a more sophisticated automatic fire alarm system. In bedsit HMOs with cooking facilities within the bedsits and in blocks of self-contained flats then a mixed system is usually recommended, where the escape routes and common parts are protected by an interlinked system of alarms or fire detection of the main house fire alarm, and the individual units have a separate stand-alone system to alert a sleeping occupant of fire in their own unit of accommodation. This has the benefit of reducing nuisance/false alarms throughout
the whole property caused by activities such as cooking within any one unit.

Hotel owner fined for five breaches of Fire Safety Order

27 May 2010

A Hotel owner in Bolton has been prosecuted, has been fined £5,000 and ordered to pay £10,000 costs after pleading guilty to five breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

The fire authorities brought the prosecution of the owner of the Pack Horse hotel, Subhash Jajoo. This followed a complaint from the public about a blocked fire exit at the hotel in December 2008.

Greater Manchester Fire Authorities followed this up with an inspection  and this revealed a number of failings. These included defective fire doors, the fire alarm was defective, fire detection/manual call point was not working, obstructions to the escape routes, defective emergency lighting units and fire extinguishers not being maintained properly.

It is important to have a fully operational fire alarm system, with a fire alarm maintenance in place. The fire alarm weekly testing is also an important procedure to ensure the fire alarm will work first time in the event of a fire emergency.

Cllr Paul Shannon, vice chairman of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority said: “We welcome the clear message from the courts that legal action will be taken against those owners or businesses that neglect fire safety and thereby risk the public’s safety.

The Fire Authority is focussed on helping businesses operate safely and stay within the legal framework, but we will take legal action if they do not.

Speaking after the case, Dr Jajoo told the Bolton News: “I am not happy with the prosecution costs and I don’t think this should have come to court. The points raised were rectified in a matter of days and I did my best.”

Protecting animals from fire using wireless fire alarms

There is always a dilemma  when protecting animals and live stock, kept in sheds outside, from fire. The sudden noise of a clattering bell or a high pitched sound of a smoke alarms installed in the sheds causes distress to the animals and can affect the animal’s health and well being. On the other hand you have to detect smoke or fires in the sheds as quickly and as practically possible if you are going to evacuate the animals in time to save their lives.

London based fire alarm company Fire Systems Ltd is a leading specialist when it comes to wireless fire alarm system we help animal lovers, farmers and veterinaries overcome this problem by offering an fire alarm system with sensors placed in the sheds that are connected to a wireless fire alarm system with a radio-interlink to the alarms fitted in the house, monitoring centre or working monitoring office. The wireless fire detection can be optical or heat and will alert you at your house should a fire break out in the barns or sheds.

For further advice, please do not hesitate to contact Fire Systems Ltd, on www.firesystems.co.uk

Fire Alarms save lives!

When I go through the social networking sites and enter “Fire Alarm”, what comes up is people moaning about the activation of the fire alarm and it would appear not taking much notice of it. People have no idea of the reality of a real fire situation and therefore have this blahzay attitude when hearing the fire alarm.

On hearing the alarm always treat it as if there could be a real fire and that fire alarm may just save your life.

What is a false alarm on a fire alarm system?

When speaking about fire alarms, what is deemed as a false alarm?

Many of people who are the responsible person managing a fire alarm system, make the mistake of calling a false alarm activation of the fire alarm and there was not for a genuine fire. However, this is incorrect.    The fire alarm may go off for a genuine reason such as someone burning the toast or the atmosphere required to activate the detector had been reached. If this is the case, then it is not a false alarm.

The above would apply whether is was a wireless fire alarm system or a wired fire alarm.

To help reduce false alarms it is strongly advised to take out a fire alarm maintenance contract with a good reliable fire alarm company such as Fire Systems Ltd.

Leicester Hotel fined over fire safety failings after a fire

 

Park Hotel in Leicester

A Leicester hotel and its manager have been ordered to pay more than £41,000 over a list of fire safety failings discovered after a fire.

The fire authorities yesterday told Leicester Magistrates' Court that although no one was seriously injured in the fire blaze at Park Hotel, London Road, it could so easily have been different result because of the lack of fire safety in place at the hotel.

The court heard how staff and guest had to find their own way out of the building during the fire, last August, because there was no fire action plan in place.

A couple resident and working for the hotel and living in the basement with their child, did not hear the fire alarm and took 20 minutes to get out of the building.

Yesterday, hotel director Parkash Kalra, who represented the Hotel in court, and the manager Ashwin Ratan each pleaded guilty to ten charges of failing to meet, or maintain fire safety regulations and measures.

The failings included leaving fire doors wedged open, failing to have fire alarm maintenance of the fire alarm panel. The fire alarms and fire detection were not tested on a weekly basis and checked in accordance with the Standards. There was not a suitable fire risk assessment in place and it had not been reviewed.

Hazel Padmore, for Leicestershire Fire and Rescue service, said: "No-one suffered any serious injuries from the fire, but we could have easily been dealing with a different and far more serious situation.

"There was a high risk of death or serious injury because of the fire safety deficiencies."

Fire crews took two hours to extinguish the blaze on August 13. It was caused by a candle and damaged several guest bedrooms.

Ms Padmore said although Ratan was classed as the person responsible for ensuring fire prevention and safety at the hotel, he had not been trained and accepted he was not competent to manage fire safety.

Fire Alarm not working – Landlord jailed

A landlord has been has been sent to jail for two and a half years after pleading guilty of breaching the Regulatory Reform order, at Norwich Crown Court.

A young woman living in one of his properties suffered severe burns.

Fire inspectors give evidence that Mr Billings failed to provide a working fire alarm, an insufficient number of fire doors, and adequate means of escape. In addition, gas appliances in the properties had not been serviced or properly inspected.
There was also no fire alarm maintenance or any records that fire alarm testing or the records of the testing were in place.

The fire broke out on 14 April 2009 in Ms Skalli’s bedsit, part of three adjoining houses in multiple occupation above retail premises in Magdalen Street, Norwich. Miss Skalli was unable to escape from the fire because her sash window could only be opened by 4 inches and the staircase was blocked by thick black smoke

Fire Alarm False Alarms

It would appear that if you search the term “Fire alarm” in Twitter, the search brings up fire alarms and issues with false alarms.

When designing and installing a fire alarm, one of the criteria that is required is to keep the possibility to a minimum. The commissioning certificate has a section mentioning false alarms and soak testing the fire alarm system on completion.

London based Fire Systems Ltd, who are BAFE accredited and fire alarm installer, takes false alarm seriously. This is why fire alarm maintenance is important and should be carried out.

Weekly testing of your Fire Alarm

Weekly fire alarm testing is part of the requirements layout out within the Regulatory Reform Order 2005, and is therefore a legal requirement. However, the weekly fire alarm test, is not always high on many peoples agenda.

The weekly test of the fire alarm does two things, 1) It gives you peace of mind that you have tested the alarm and you can say it actually is working ( 2) The people within the building get to hear the fire alarm and get familiar with the sound.

Fire alarm maintenance is also very important and the maintenance of the fire alarm be carried out whether it be a wired or a wireless fire alarm at a minimum of every six months.

Fire Systems Ltd a London based fire alarm company offers fire alarm maintenance and weekly fire alarm testing.

Fire Alarm Exhibition in Birmingham 2010

The fire alarm exhibition was on at Birmingham this week and I somehow forgot all about it! However, I have to ask myself the question will there be anything new or worth viewing?

I recently attended the fire alarm exhibition at Fire south and after an hour or less, I had viewed all the fire alarm stands, including the wireless fire alarm section. There was nothing new for the wired or conventional fire systems only the wireless fire alarms had anything new to offer and that was from EMS, who had launch the first radio fire alarm system that complied with EN54.

These exhibitions are more of a talking shop. You meet colleagues from various fire alarm companies, and the fire industry in general, but apart from that, there is not much else going on.

Never mind, hopefully, I will remember next year.

Fire Alarms and fire doors?

As I visit more and more sites, I am finding a neglect towards the maintenance and upkeep of fire doors and their interface connections to fire alarm systems.

Fire doors wedge open with fire extinguishers or any other object that may happen to be near by is a criminal offence.

However, they are properly and legal ways of holding open a fire door. The most popular is provided a door magnet and this magnet is kept energised by the fire alarm system. The principle is the same whether it is a wired or wireless fire alarm. Another popular method is the dorguard. This unit is operated by the sounder of the fire alarm system. The dorguard looks for a constant noise (longer then 30s )over a certain decibel level and if these criteria’s are met the dorguard operates.

Fire alarm maintenance of the fire alarm and door holders is crucial to ensure the passive fire prevention throughout the building.

Surrey based fire alarm company Fire Systems Ltd, provides fire alarm installation and fire alarm maintenance.

Fire Alarms and Fire detection – Beam detectors

Large indoor areas can present challenges for  fire alarm systems. Will Mason of Fire Systems Ltd will examine the role of optical beam smoke detection in protecting such spaces.

Large, wide indoor areas can present a challenge to traditional fire alarm systems: in order to provide effective fire detection over such spaces, complex networks of multiple overlapping fire detection sensors will be required. However, optical beam smoke detectors, on the other hand, are designed exactly for such situations – one single beam detector installed on a wall, so as to cover a distance of 100m, can detect smoke over an area of up to 1500m² (BS 5839-1). More coverage per beam detector means fewer smoke detectors, with associated reductions to the time and cost of installation and wiring, as well as a reduced aesthetic intrusion. Mounting on the vertical wall, as opposed to the horizontal ceiling, can allow more convenient access for fire alarm maintenance, and a low-level controller further speeds and eases the process. A space which might need as many as 15 smoke detectors could therefore be maintained from one single low-level controller, as opposed to organising height access to 15 different spots.

There is already a lively debate about the relative merits and drawbacks of different smoke detection fire alarm systems, with the main methods being point smoke detection, aspirating (sampling)/HSSD smoke detection, and beam smoke detection. A common theme is that beam detection may not be as reliable or trouble-free as other methods; however this is almost always due to incorrect or poor installation by the fire alarm installer. Beams, in fact, can be much more suitable for some situations than other detection systems, and this article will explain how to get the best from beams.

Fire alarm company Fire Systems Ltd, install all types of smoke detection and is a BAFE fire alarm installer. Whether it be a beam detection system or a wireless fire alarm system you can rely on fire systems to provide a good service and a quality fire alarm installation.

Clarendon Hotel to have wireless fire alarm upgrade

London based fire alarm installer, Fire Systems Ltd, will be upgrading the existing fire alarm system in the Clarendon Hotel in Greenwich.

The existing fire alarm system is a basic approximately 24 zone conventional, and this makes it difficult to locate a fire alarm activation.

The fire detection, is wired in electrical flex, and therefore does not comply with the current standards.

Also, the hotel is installing additional fire detection with the bedrooms, using wireless fire alarm technology from Hyfire.

Fire systems, who currently carry out the fire alarm maintenance, has designed a Hybrid wireless fire alarm system with addressable fire detection.

Installation of the new fire alarm system will be sometime in June.

Fire alarm and fire awareness training

It is important to implement fire alarm and fire awareness training for yourself and your staff.

You have to ask yourself the question? Does your staff know what to do in the event of a fire alarm activation?

Do your staff know how to operate a fire extinguisher if require to tackle a fire?

What is the procedure to evacuate staff or visitors with disabilities?

Know what to do in the above situations can save lives.

Why not contact London based fire alarm company Fire Systems who can provide you and your company the required fire awareness training, fire alarm maintenance or fire alarm training.

Weekly fire alarm testing, and training how to operate your fire alarm is important when it comes to fire safety.

You can contact Fire Systems on www.firesystems.co.uk

Is there still a need for small conventional fire alarms?

I have to ask myself the question? Is their still a justifiable need for your small typical 4 Zone conventional fire alarm system?

Will Mason from Fire Systems Ltd an independent London based fire alarm company states” we hardly ever install this type of fire alarm system. We find that the cost of your typical cost effective addressable fire alarm system works out about the same as a conventional fire alarm system.

The fire detection on the conventional system is cheaper than the addressable, but not by much. However, you make a saving on the wiring of the addressable fire alarm.

Fire alarm maintenance on a addressable fire alarm is lower as you can test several devices in one go, whereby you cannot achieve this on a conventional.

However, the cost of a wireless fire alarm system is still a lot more expensive if comparing it to conventional fire alarm. But I still prefer wireless fire alarms.

Fire Alarm Systems on Construction sites

It would appear that the HSE are visiting Construction sites and closing sites if they do not have a suitable form of evacuation/fire alarm on site.

The London based fire alarm company Fire Systems Ltd, who specialise in wireless fire alarms, have had to recently install at short notice a wireless fire alarm system at Great Ormond street Hospital and at another building site in West London, where the main building construction was out of timber.

The fire detection on these types of sites is usually manual call points with a limited amount of smoke detection is some areas.

Fire Systems Ltd, a BAFE accredited fire alarm installer, was able to install the fire alarm within days, commission and tested before the return inspection by the HSE.

Fire Systems has also offered their services in fire alarm maintenance of the newly installed systems and instructed the client about their responsibility to carry out weekly fire alarm testing.

Fire can cause a loss of electronic or paper data, damage crucial equipment and more importantly, can result in human injury and even loss of life. It is no wonder then that most businesses or companies that experience a major fire on their premises usually go out of business within three years of the incident.

By installing a fire alarm system by a competent fire alarm installer, such as Fire Systems Ltd, you can go a long way to preventing the effect a fire can have on your business. There are many types of system to choose from, within the wired fire alarms and wireless fire alarm system range so you will be able to find the right one for your business.
