Extract blaze contained

Two recent prosecutions under the
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)
Order 2005 following fires in hotels
highlight the need for managers
and fire risk assessors to ensure
adequate fire safety measures are
installed in these types of premises.

In contrast, when a fire occurred
inside the kitchen extract ductwork
of the 5-star Grove Hotel in
Watford, it spread no further thanks
to the hotel having installed Fire
Protection Ltd’s Flamebar BW11
fire resistant ductwork system.

The Flamebar BW11 system
completely contained the blaze in
precisely the way in which it is
designed. In fact, the section that
actually contained the fire showed
no sign of deterioration, despite the
fact that the standard ventilation
ductwork was completely destroyed.
