The doors should be whatever the FRA says they ought to be. :D Without seeing it firsthand it's hard to comment, but if I'm imagining the situation correctly and it were my FRA, I'd almost certainly be asking for them to be replaced. I'd probably suggesting an FD60S doorset, but be willing to accept...

Okay, thanks, I will definitely look into them!

Hi witsd, the FPA course is very good! A 5 day course (this can then lead you to the Diploma). Definitely recommend it.

If done well, this will add a competitive element, whereby they will be far more stringent on the other sites than an external person might! :D Obviously this would be signifi...

Some further, more detailed info, on the rapid spread of the fire. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-49318182 Thank you for this, I've been waiting to see what caused this to be such a big event. Drug users starting fires in public toilets are a dime a dozen, but usually the dam...

An EV fire in a subterranean basement garage is going to be a difficult event.

Plug the drain and let the basement fill up?!
