Officials downplay Central World fire threat, but shopper warns against underestimating danger

[dallen52]

I saw the fire response teams running through a training session at Central in pattaya recently. 

 

Very reminiscent of Dads Army.

 

Don't panic, Don't panic.

How can that possibly be safe?

As an ex UK firefighter that was my thought,a ventilation system that actually spreads the the heat and fumes into another part of the building. AMAZING

TIT, saving money by not installing fire dampers is far more profitable than paying out the odd million baht to the families of employees who die due to the spread of fire.  After all what does the death of a few "plebs" matter to the ruling elite ?

why should they care ? people obviously know that it is still risky but will the shop be empty today of customers ? ?

Couple of BAD issues...

 

--What word is notoriously, absolutely missing from the entire OP article???  SPRINKLERS!!!!!  Not a single mention, if they had, didn't have, and if they had, why they didn't seem to work.

 

--if the fire was caused by garbage gas, ZERO mention of anything being done to prevent the same kind of problem from occurring in the future. Just paint, patch over, and reopen everything.... until next time.

 

--No mention of the time delays that BMA emergency service personnel had in reaching the scene due to traffic congestion, and of course, nothing will be done to address that either.

 

Money first, safety last here.

 

 

 

 

Or smoke detectors ????

And how long have you been wondering ? 

Utterly stupid and bovine, sneering, yet unfunny remarks and useless posts abound on this site, don't they?

Mine is similar to this one - unnecessary!
