Another block of flats, this time in Brighton, have failed fire safety inspections and will need to implement a waking watch.
The issue here is that residents are having to potentially spend a fortune on putting the work right to the external facade of their building and on top of that have to spend huge sums of money on a waking watch while that is happening.
Of course the safety of the residents is paramount and must never be compromised.
At Whale Fire, we look at every option available for the residents to help save you money whilst keeping you safe because we feel that both are vitally important and mental health and safety from a fire can work hand in hand.

Firefighters from Manchester have been dealing with a large incident in Heywood which has been attended by 8 pumps.
Nearby residents have been advised to keep doors and windows shut to avoid any potential smoke inhalation.
If this is a commercial premises or block of flats then I hope a suitable fire risk assessment was in place.

The stress the residents of Thamesmead’s Royal Artillery Quays in South East London face is extreme. They are potentially facing huge bills to pay for the removal of the dangerous cladding having already spent a small fortune on a waking watch. This building has been issued with a Section 20 notice and the residents are potentially facing bankruptcy.
I hope, for their sake, this can all be completed as soon as possible for their mental health as much as anything.

Whale Fire can now provide waking watch services across the UK.
We work with you by initially carrying out a fire risk assessment to determine what works best for you and your building. We use the latest fire safety guidance but will also adopt a cost effective, pragmatic and common sense approach to save you money and inconvenience, wherever possible.
Our fire wardens are fully trained, and will assist and communicate with all residents and any vulnerable persons. They can safely and quickly manage an evacuation and will provide the fire service with any relevant information on their arrival, should a fire break out.
We provide a complete service from start to finish until the external façade of your building has been made safe. We can also help with the installations of temporary fire alarm systems.

Fire crews recently dealt with this derelict building fire in Stoke on Trent. This fire was located close to a supermarket and would have involved the evacuation of nearby premises to protect occupants from potential smoke inhalation.
When carrying out a fire risk assessment, its always worth considering the impact on the building you are assessing if a fire were to start in an adjacent building and certainly one that is attached.

This restaurant owner in Reading was prosecuted under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for a series of fire safety breaches. Had he carried out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and completed the recommendations he would have paid a much lower price and kept all the restaurant occupiers safe.

This is a thorough and useful guide to Emergency lighting. This is an important aspect of fire safety and ensures that in a power failure, emergency exit routes are well illuminated and occupants can safely exit the building.
Sometimes, there is enough borrowed lighting from outside a building which can negate the use of too many emergency lights but like most other elements of fire safety, this is down to a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment to determine their usage.
