Factory saved from blaze May 1st 2010 In a recent incident, acetone in the
production area of a factory in west
Hull caught fire. However, thanks to
a Fireray 5000 optical beam smoke
detector from Fire Fighting
Enterprises no one was injured and
the building escaped intact.
The alarm signal was picked up by
the 24-hour manned security lodge,
who called the fire brigade. Ten fire
engines from the Humberside Fire
and Rescue Service arrived within
five minutes and quickly subdued
the blaze; all staff were evacuated
without incident. It is thought that
the quick reaction to the fire starting
saved the building, with the speed of
the alarm and the firefighters'
response minimising the scale and
severity of the blaze. More articles from Fire Fighting Enterprises Ltd: |
