Fire at a local industrial laundry, some remedial work required to the electrical installation.

Not really, the building was recently demolished.

Any idea what started the fire?

Yup, it’s a shame there isn’t something like an nice-looking oversize grid plate available for exactly this issue. Like you can get to reduce the huge holes where giant cfl or PAR ceiling lights once sat.

You mean these?

Heat, fuel and oxygen usually.

Yeah, but they look naff.
Nicer would be a range of grid plates, which wouldn't look like they are an addition, just a subtly larger plate which could be used with any grid accessories.
Never mind, wrong thread anyway ?

Yes, roofers repairing the roof started the fire when sparks from their grinders showered down on to fabrics inside the building. It was a major incident. 15 fire engines, road closure, railway line closure etc.

I remember them doing for a 4core 35mm with nail gun when they were changing some clear roof panels. Nothing like yours... but it could have been if they'd have done it above the paint mix area.

Reason I asked is that I attended a similar situation a few years back.

The destruction was devastating, all caused by heat escaping from a kiln that caused a flat wooden roof to combust. I spent quite a bit of time with the fire investigator to determine if an electrical fault had been initially to blame. It turned out to be a combination of mechanical and operator error, creating a very unusual situation, which in hindsight, could have been avoided but was not pre-empted in the safe working assessment or RAMS.

It was quite interesting being part of the investigation team.

This started with "my extractor wont' turn off" and ended with removing the 13A fuse pending next visit.

Oh, and the extractor:

There was a fire near me a few weeks ago at a general engineers. Gutted the rather ancient building they occupy.

As far as cause… I had heard from sources… so take with a pinch of salt… that they had a bonfire going and whoever was told to put it out with water…. Picked up paint thinners instead.

Would have had to be a serious H&S breach there keeping chemicals in unmarked containers, and not secure… but more likely the fire was just too close to old dry wood and the old building.
