This hotel fire in South Kensington started in the basement and caused the mass evacuation of over 500 occupants. Fortunately no injuries were reported.
Dealing with fires in basements is tricky for firefighters and you have to deal with limited ventilation, often a large build up of combustible materials and limited and unusual escape routes.
That’s why a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must consider all areas of a building and all occupants including ensuring the safety of firefighters should they have to enter the building.
