Christmas Decorations
« on: November 19, 2008, 05:51:04 PM »
Daft question I know but what is the concensus regarding putting flame retardant christmas decorations on the corridors of sheltered accommodation schemes?

It's beginning to be a real headache for me!

As long as they are not obstructing any escape routes, securely fixed and they are flame retardant, I can not see a problem.
I refuse to have a battle of wittts with an unarmed person.

Wouldn't the sheep mind being treated with intumescent paint and nailed to the floor?

Have you ever tried setting fire to a sheep? they`re all wet and woolly, I wouldn`t worry about the sheep and concentrate on the decorations.

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhh humbug from me too

Yes so long as fire retardant, well secured shouldn't be a major problem. Best to leave some spacing in between decorations - i.e. dont have miles upon miles of festive streamers linked together just incase the decor does catch fire by the act of rubbing two sheep together!

Could become a problem for fire fighters even if they are fire resistant..

If a fire fighter's only problem is a bit of tinsel then you are doing ok.
