This large shed fire in Croydon recently resulted in large amounts of people being evacuated from nearby premises including residents of a care home.
In the last few years we have rightly concentrated on external fire spread and this incident is just another example of the potential dangers of not only fire spread but extended smoke travel.
When being called to a shed fire, the last thing fire officers would have considered was evacuating a nearby care home. We must therefore remember when assessing any kind of building what the potential consequences are.
