Fire at clandon park

[WDT]

I know people have discussed fire and stuff on here, A friend of mine who was a fireman on scene that day of the clandon park fire thought i might like to look at the report as we have talked about how they work out the cause of a fire, I also thought some of you guys may like some light bed time reading and there is photos at the end,

Loose N. That's how an otherwise very good electrician friend of mine cause £1m+ worth of damage to a new-build nightclub that hadn't even opened.

He forgot to tighten the N nut on the main busbar and then as the occupier moved in and ramped up the load...

Amendment 2 calls for metal boards to contain fire due to loose connections on domestic installs....

 

does'nt appear to have worked very well on this one

[datadiffusion]

Nope not a jot of difference, although arguably a lot more internal plastics to burn on a 90s 3 phase and if in a tiny cupboard...

Did you guys like the report I found it interesting, Didn't find any pics of the fire alarm so not sure where they got the info from, unless that was from who ever checked the fire panel when it was first activated.

I guess that as it was a manual activation, the fire alarm was of secondary interest - however, there clearly wasn't anything in the CU cupboard...

[WDT]

You engineer read the report like in the film short circuit

 

It said that the roof space sensor was the first activation,

 

Maybe i am very sad reading it that well,

 

I am over your way tommorow in bristol,

Yeah but I mean it says the call came direct from 999 on a mobile after a power loss, so presume the alarm itself went off far too late?
