Tower block fire in west london

[Burgerman]

Many years ago, I decided living upstairs was a risk. Never mind many floors upstairs! If I had to live in any tall building I would have protective gear, oxygen mask, and a parachute all stashed in a cupboard close to me.

Sad vampire is right. These look good. Any of us that cannot self evacuate the property, or live or sleep upstairs would do well to watch the vids here. I will look into it further.

Pretty amazing stuff. The ides of adding an assist (booster) to create the high pressure system is pretty much key to fire suppression. This system would benefit from a LiFePO4 in the back up power system, rather than Lead Acid systems now used.

In the one example where a fire is half protected from the direct effect of the misting and a larger fire loading it seemed to give the acceleration of the fire to minimal effect. Time and fuel (fire) load are incredibly important in preventing a fire from spreading.

BM For you a person who cannot hope to get yourself into your chair alone, do you have some sort of plan? You seem to have made plans for almost everything else, how about escaping an fire at night? Alone? There is always a way!! "The impossible only takes a little longer"

Could I advise you might want to stay friendly with your neighbors, especially the younger and stronger ones!

Well that doesn't apply to mine!
