WDT Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I know people have discussed fire and stuff on here, A friend of mine who was a fireman on scene that day of the clandon park fire thought i might like to look at the report as we have talked about how they work out the cause of a fire, I also thought some of you guys may like some light bed time reading and there is photos at the end, http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/people-and-community/surrey-fire-and-rescue/surrey-fire-and-rescue-services-fire-investigation-report-clandon-park Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40062-fire-at-clandon-park/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Loose N. That's how an otherwise very good electrician friend of mine cause £1m+ worth of damage to a new-build nightclub that hadn't even opened. He forgot to tighten the N nut on the main busbar and then as the occupier moved in and ramped up the load... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40062-fire-at-clandon-park/#findComment-445440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nope not a jot of difference, although arguably a lot more internal plastics to burn on a 90s 3 phase and if in a tiny cupboard...

WDT Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Did you guys like the report I found it interesting, Didn't find any pics of the fire alarm so not sure where they got the info from, unless that was from who ever checked the fire panel when it was first activated.

datadiffusion Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I guess that as it was a manual activation, the fire alarm was of secondary interest - however, there clearly wasn't anything in the CU cupboard...

WDT Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 You engineer read the report like in the film short circuit It said that the roof space sensor was the first activation, Maybe i am very sad reading it that well, I am over your way tommorow in bristol, Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40062-fire-at-clandon-park/#findComment-445472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah but I mean it says the call came direct from 999 on a mobile after a power loss, so presume the alarm itself went off far too late?
