Not very impressed with the fire protection in the building, if a fire
in one flat destroyed the whole building before the fire brigade managed
to deal with it.

There are some very strange ideas in some peoples heads one has to say.

Maybe these are the new age firemen proposed by our nice Home Secretary. I'd
imagine they have a meeting about elf and safety before attending.

Nothing wrong with using a heat source *carefully* to speed up the
thawing of ice. Done it myself many times.

The bigger question is why wasn't the inferno contained within the
kitchen of the flat ?. How did the fire spread through the ceiling
into the roof structure ?. A standard plasterboard ceiling should
have given 30 minutes protection. Enough time for the fire
brigade to take action. Did someone do a refurb and cut loads
of holes in the ceiling for downlighters (and not bother with
fire/smoke hooods)?.

May have been a newer fridge using R 6oo refrigerant (butane)

"The 85-year-old is believed to have been blasted across a kitchen when
the electrical appliance exploded at a property in affluent Thorntonhall
on the edge of Glasgow".

Does sound a bit like that.

Well these were luxury flats costing 1/4 million pound each.

well it is Glasgow you'd be lucky to get a space for your wheelie bin for 1/4 million in London ;-)

Makes me wonder what the quality of build the affordable appartments are if luxury ones go up in flames so quickly.
