I have worn a car seat belt for forty years and not once have I needed to test it :-) They do restrain you while you are driving which I find helps a bit anyway. The chances of injury in a motor accident are much higher tha being caught in a hotel type fire. Making sure that you know the route to a (hotel) fire escape does make sense. Taking appropriate and prompt action was the other message to the programme. -- Michael Chare |

Michael Chare formulated the question :
Making sure that you know the route to a (hotel) fire escape does make sense. True, but the guy with the smoke mask seemed to me to be bordering on on an obsessive/ compulsive disorder. Taking appropriate and prompt action was the other message to the programme. I must admit I was quite surprised by the reported delays and failures to respond promptly to an emergency - though I suppose I really should not be that surprised. I often carry out fire alarm tests on large buildings and sometimes the tests do at times go wrong and the alarm rings for longer than intended. I have yet to see anyone actually respond to the alarm going off or even question why it might be ringing. Personally, if the alarm rings and I'm not aware of a planned test - I move. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

I have yet to see anyone actually respond to the alarm going off or even question why it might be ringing. Personally, if the alarm rings and I'm not aware of a planned test - I move. There's also the question of switching into the appropriate mode of behaviour. The example I've heard twice on completely different training events related to the Manchester Woolworths fire (IIRC). In the resturant, customers who were eating showed some different behaviours. Some left immediately. Others thought they'd better go and pay for their meal before leaving, queued up at the till, and not all of those made it out. It sounds silly when you say it, but nevertheless, many people don't switch in to the appropriate mode of behaviour when faced with something serious which demands it. Similarly, fires in night clubs, some people try and leave ASAP, but others walk towards the fire to see what's going on, and are less likely to survive. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

I have worn a car seat belt for forty years and not once have I needed to test it :-) Well not so My sister's husband was working in the garage about 10 years ago (he's a carpenter) later that night, about midnight their house filled with smoke from the garage and the all had to get out in semi darkness. The children did better than they did as they were trained how to get out of a fire at school only that week! Something had spontaneously combusted in the garage by the wooden doors and the garage was burnt out though the house just had smoke damage, Maybe a wet towel is a better idea as some people suggested. So I'll stick with that then............... -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Perhaps fire drills need to be made more authentic, as in the army where you sometimes had live rounds in practice.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Janet Tweedy saying something like: Perhaps fire drills need to be made more authentic, as in the army where you sometimes had live rounds in practice. Perhaps a proper fire could be lit every 5 practices? It really needs to be randomly to keep people on their toes. |

Yes, all manner of hooters, bells (real or recorded), voice announcements (in English only in an "international" hotel?). Maybe it's beacause one place I worked for many years had two alarms; one get the F out and one to stay put. And why don't the police, fire & ambulance use different sirens so you can tell which is which? They do but not by very much. I can normally tell is siren is coming from A police car, fire engine or ambulance. Police cars tend to be higher pitch and a faster pace than the others, with fire engines lower pitched and slower paced. -- Cheers Dave. |
