You would think that after The Station fire lessons would have been learned. Obviously not.

Couldn't believe it when I saw this on the news.  Fireworks on stage again?  What an absolutely tragic waste of life.

Latest news indicates that the owners had not renewed the licence and their fire certificate had run out last year. Same old.

Incidentally just off to a leisure centre built mid 60s to explain why they need more fire seperation in the building.

Another tragedy and sadly another subject to cover during training sessions!
