FIRE!

Zoomup
We remove old plastic consumer units and replace them with metal encased types, but still allow buildings to be clad in combustible materials. Bonkers.

    If statements about numerous false activations are true then the management/university need to address this as a priority with serious punitive measures if culprits are found.

    If the statements actually refer to weekly testing of the system in line with regulations, this needs to be communicated more clearly to the occupants.


    Back in my day, the halls of residence I was in had a spate of malicious alarm activations at least once a week if not twice....usually on the same night as the local pubs had their 'student nights' - correlation or causation I wonder?

    The fire service always attended to their credit, but very quickly got rather p**sed off and soon the boys in blue accompanied them. Before long the university was slapped with an ASBO. Safe to say the culprits didn't get to finish their studies once the university identified them.
