Interesting point here.
In any fire where the cause can't be established, it's assumed to be an electrical fault. And that conclusion goes into the figures despite there being no evidence to support it. Hence we get the situation where we are told that so many thousand fires are caused by electrical faults. Which gives ammunition for the electrical bodies to call for ridiculously high standards in domestic wiring. And higher standards means more work for them. |

BBC Watchdog Live also uncovered potentially dangerous fire safety issues in developments in Kent and West Lothian built by Bellway Homes.
In 2015, a fire took hold in a block of Bellway Homes flats in Canterbury, Kent, and spread through dozens of properties, destroying or damaging 45 of them. Subsequent inspections highlighted concerns over fire stopping in the wall cavities. Residents at the Old Tannery development have since been moved out while "improvement works" to address these fire safety issues are carried out at their homes.. Bellway Homes said it was "committed to improvement". "Mandatory training on many subjects, including fire stopping, has been introduced for all applicable construction staff and we remain committed to building quality homes in accordance with all relevant regulation," it added. Scandalous Been several fires at Bellway Blocks .. Watchdog covered the Above on the 1st of may this Year New build part Buy Part rent Scheme , 2 minutes to get out no fire alarm WTF .... As stated had this been overnight be many dead.. |

Wooden balconies the reason for the fronts going up so quickly.
The authorities in charge of building regulations must be asleep, along with the councils. What do they do all day, they supposed to control the materials used in building work. Another case of public sector workers being paid to do nothing. It's about time a few of these highly paid skivers ended up in court and then jailed. That would concentrate their minds. |

had to search high and low to find this story on the BBC page .... not sure why they were hiding it up as it was listed as 'most read'
surely most read stories should automatically take centre stage on main news |
