The New Year's Eve fire in Switzerland has caused discussion on what fire precautions should be taken by the public and how laws should be tightened.
Fire Evacuation Announcements & Drills
If you have been on an aircraft you will have heard the fire evacuation notices. On a ship you have fire drills and announcements.
I remember having fire drills at school.
Fire Exit Maps
Hotels have exit maps on the back of bedroom doors.
Smoke Alarms
Landlords are required to provide smoke alarms in residences, and check them annually.
Fire Extinguishers in Restaurants
When I was recently in a Chinese restaurant, JM, in London, a fire extinguisher was on the wall.
Today I was in a cafe, Gail's, near Smithfield Market, which had a fire extinguisher on the wall.
It is reassuring to see that plans are in place.
