Gentlemen, lets not get bogged down in the vaguries of our legal system whilst losing sight of the original question. On more than one occasion during this topic Rosepark has been mentioned, open doors kill, read on:
A recent fire occurred in an old persons home and caused six fatalities. The fire originated in a television lounge and the most likely cause was the igniting of one of the many upholstered chairs by a discarded cigarette end. While the occupants had retired for the night, the fire burnt slowly, and generated much smoke and hot toxic gases. These travelled throughout the building. Where occupants had kept their bedroom doors closed and waited by open windows, they survived. Those who tried to negotiate smoke logged corridors and staircases died.
Where?, Liverpool 1957, what have we learned, not a lot despite loads of legislation, regulation and ACOPs, lets get the basics right first.
