No matter how many fire doors they fit if the fire is spreading through the ducting !

Re: Would you stay ?
If you are in a totally dangerous situation, where you and your family are at the highest possible risk level, you will only have one thought - to get out!Our technicians and advisors , can put up all the notices they like but panic will reign supreme.
We should have learned from what has happened at football grounds, etc., that chaos and the resulting panic will not listen to guidance "to be patient" especially when those giving the guidance have not been involved in the panic themselves.
Rule 1 - stay alive & keep your family alive.
Rule 2 - Make your own decision based on what you see happening and the ability of rescuers to reach you.
Rule 3- Go back to rule 1.
I might be criticised by the authorities for saying this - but I won't be dead!

Re: Would you stay ?
I agree as I said we've as a block talked it over and agreed a strategy but who knows if chips were down exactly what we would do ? I hope I'd stop to get Vera from her flat, elderly lady can't get about much herself, but I can't promise panic won't take over and my family come first for me.
