Ready For the Fire Inspector
On the morning of the 18th February 2009 I had all my bit and bobs, check list for my smoke detectors, plan of the building showing the location of all the appliance’s, a test sample of the fire retardant fabric we used to cover one of the ceilings in a guest room, I made sure all the fire doors were closed, everything was ready.
Don’t forget after we went above six sleeping places we installed a full fire alarm system and received our fire certificate, so I was use to seeing Fire Officers over the last fifteen years, so I wasn’t anxious or stressed.
The Frie Inspector was due at 10.00am, at 10.15 I though funny, there always on timet, I went and read his letter again, yes, 10.00 am 18th February 2009. He must be a busy man, I thought.
At 11am I thought he might have phoned, at 12 noon I phoned him, no answer. There where two phone numbers on the letter I tried them both still no answer, it’s just after 12, there having lunch I’ll phone back after lunch, wait a minute fire department out to lunch I’d better start recording whats going on. I phoned both numbers at 1pm 3pm and 4pm nothing.
Just a thought
I was really surprised looking on the net for the price of fire doors, there is now a product on the market that is like wallpaper, put on with a special adhesive that gives half hour fire resistance to walls and ceilings that will save people a lot of money in the past to obtain a one hour ceiling you had to put up two lots of plaster board.
