Nah, you will never have as much fun as you had at the ratepayers expense. Your heady days at the Court of Appeal are sadly no more Ian. They are merely a reminisence akin to Davey has when he remembers the times when he had a full head of hair, the Unions were all powerful, the mere name of The Rack would have instilled fear in the Government, and the most exciting thing was whether your date was wearing these new fangled tights inside her knickers or outside.  Nowadays,it is all this touchy feely business of fire officers being nice to the punter, not threatening section 10s and court actions and dare I say it actually thinking of the damn nuisance of an employer as something akin to a customer. Eh its not what we joined up for is it.

Ouch! This is in danger of becoming a totally different topic.

I note the word 'should' - therefore - agreed!

Ok, What about the air handling unit hanging from the ceiling in the stairwell?

Yes you can. All you do is get two burly men to carry it up the stairs or take the lift. But you shouldnt. Does this help?

Dr Fireman, Mr Lee, Neil M, Doug and Chief Carline,

I have read nonsensical and rude posts from each of you.  Name calling and pointless posts will not be tolerated on this forum.

This forum exists for those in the industry to exchange information, discuss ideas and engage in discussion about fire related issues.

I have served you all with a temporary ban until November.  If you want to use the site for its' proper purpose after this time feel free to do so, if you again use this forum for name calling, I won't hesitate to ban you permanently and refer your offensive posts to your university, employer or mail provider (I'm quite sure each of them has an anti-abuse policy.) Don't think you are anonymous when you are on this website.

Best Regards,

Chris.

What fun...
Photocopier in a single protected staircase, even if it is only ground and first, you must be having a larrf..
SHIFT THE PHOTOCOPIER
Options I would explore would be
1. Shift copier into risk room, behind staircase protection, ok, obvious!
2. Build FR structure for p/copier, AFD, SC/A doors..also pretty obvious!!
3. Surround p/copier in firetrace, provide AFD, still would not deal with paper store, bins etc.
4,. Misting system and AFD,
The problem with 3 & 4 is that escape may not be possible until the systems have activated and controlled the fire!!...but in these enlightend times I may just go along with that..who knows..

...NO PHOTOCOPIER

The problem is Brian, it never ends with just the photocopier. You will end up with paper stocks and waste bins for scrap copies.
