Major Fire In New Apartment Brings Back Memories of Grenfell Towers


Posted January 20, 2022 by ajmfiresafetyuk

The need for quality fire suppression systems in multi-tenant buildings are increasing
 
While it was already nearly five years since the devastation of Grenfell Towers gripped the attention of people across the globe, this memory surfaced once again early in January as a fire in an apartment building in New York claimed the lives of 19 people of which nine were children. The fire broke out in an apartment building in the Bronx and the media widely describes the fire as the most devastating in more than 30 years. Except for the deceased, 13 people had such severe injuries that they had to spend time in hospital. The situation once again raises a concern regarding the state of properties across the globe. The team at AJM Fire Safety states that these devastating events can have a much better outcome if property owners would only adhere to the strict regulations that are in place to contain fires during such an event.

“It is often the case in these buildings that the fire sprinklers fail and this result in the fire spreading rapidly throughout the entire building. Fire door installations are also off-spec or if the initial fire door installer did comply with the necessary regulations it is the case that fire door maintenance never took place. When a fire door is not in a peak condition it won’t restrain the flames and the smoke, causing people to get trapped inside,” says Jonny Millard, the general manager of AJM Fire Safety.

As a trusted fire door installer in the UK, this team is so committed to improving the state of fire doors across the nation that they don’t only supply premium quality fire doors, they also install them according to government requirements. They also offer fire door installer training to ensure that more professionals have the necessary certification to prevent such devastation from ever taking place on UK soil again.

“It can be that your property has the most advanced fire doors installed, but in the case that the installation was done wrong, it will mean nothing. It can also mean that any property owners open themselves to legal action,” Millar further states.

The training that this team offer adheres to the requirements set by the government and they offer people the necessary qualification to ensure that fire door maintenance takes place to sustain these doors. They offer a widely recognized certification that can not only save lives but also help their students to expand their careers.
