Fire Safety Clown….
After yesterdays visit from the Fire Safety Officer, I
felt like a complete idiot.
I was so far away from the point and so ignorant on
fire safety issues.
Now I feel so much totally safer with a sense of calm
and relief that I am not now in the danger that I was.
I was so proud of my plan to go charging into the fire with
ten wet towels. Stupid ! Wrong ! Aside from heat and burn
issues, if you get in the smoke you can be unconscious in
two seconds. Correct method. Get Out or…Shut doors, get low to ground,
open window, do not jump out. Call 999. Fire Service will guarantee
to be with you within five minutes. Behind a door fire spread
will be delayed by 20 minutes. Problem solved.
My three main doors just could not be shut due to clutter. Your
normal door is your 20 minute fire door. Keep it clear.
25 year old fire extinguishers and fire blankets are useless. Wrongly
sited smoke alarms are bad. You will be overloading your sockets.
I did not need 15 clocks, 3 TV’s, 4 computers, numerous chargers,
videos, dvd’, pvr, sky, 3 stereos all in one room. You do have
enough sockets.
Scalded myself with Hot Chocolate few months ago. Could not believe
pain. Why would you or I want to be the star of the next A & E TV
documentary?
GET A FIRE INSPECTION !!!!!!
