Fire safety

Just did a fire safety course at work and all I can say after seeing things and hearing stuff, is please check your smoke alarms and if you don't have any please install one on the ground and upstairs floor.

Id rather you flame me than be flamed yourself

Come to Austria the land with no health laws, I had to buy a fire alarm for my flat, and my works fire training was someone will get you when the alarm sounds, wasnt what my placement coordinator wanted to hear on their form for the university really.

What was fantastic about that episode was the apology to Keith Laird at the end, a real life fire safety officer who really didn't 'play' with dogs and who the episode wasn't based around, no sir-ee...
Cracks me up every time

Dogs man, dogs.

My smoke alarm is in the hedge outside my bedroom window. I was just in from a night shift and trying to sleep and the bloody thing wouldn't stop beeping so I lost the head and threw it out the window.

Thanks for reminding me to get another, I'd forgotten about that

Always have a smoke alarm! It will save you! If it annoys you, remember that, or just take the batteries out if it's going to go off everytime you cook bacon.

My dad gives fire saftey lectures for a living as a retired fire officer. Whatever room/building he walks in, he goes straight into risk assessment and minimisation mode... Its inbuilt (and sometimes a little annoying!)!

i live in a bungalow, still got an alarm, but without it im pretty sure i could get out safely.

in buildings tho, ive always wondered where you should go if the fire exits are the source of the fire.

There should always be at least two exits.

Remember seeing a christmas tree fire video as part of uni course. Six seconds after ignition the living room was completly filled with smoke :eek:
