Hi all
An incident recently occured in a hospital where an ice making machine caught fire. The fire service has said that this was due to the water to it being turned off and the power left on. There was no thermostat cut off mechanism to this machine.
The machine had a heating element and this element apparently is there to form ice cubes from the sheet ice that is formed initially, the cubes then drop into a container.
The external service engineer is saying that the water was on, but on investigation by the estates fitter it appears that the fire service were right and that the water supply was off and it needs a spanner to do this so no ward staff would have turned it off
The machine was serviced the day before the fire.
has anyone else had experience of this type of incident?
Cheers.
