Question - what system do we have in (most) of our high rise properties that would stop a small fire in a condo (or in our case a guest room) developing into this crisis?
I am certain that the investigation into this fire will find this condominium building had this system but it was switched off and/or poorly maintained.
If you look at the video posted on Coconuts Bangkok (sorry could not post the link) you will see the emergency escape stairs are completely blocked by smoke (even below the fire). WHY? Because the have allowed these life saving doors to be left open and/or not tested them regularly.
GMs: Did you receive and sign your ONYX FLS SYSTEMS: Daily Availably Check Sheet today?
Engineers: Are you 100% sure your fire pump and sprinklers will work?
You had better be!
