September is childhood cancer awareness month. It’s something I’ve found it difficult to write about on social media, because the truth is in our house the loss caused by cancer can’t be defined by a month, it’s a loss that seeps into every second of every hour of every day and…
Another day another Fire Marshal Training session complete at our training room. A good morning with some of our Schools, to gain knowledge about fire and to gain confidence in how to tackle them. @ClockhousePrim
We hope you enjoyed and found our posts regarding Fire Doors during this week useful and helpful but also more aware of the importance of Fire Doors. We have put together a short video of a simple and easy way of checking your Fire Doors. youtu.be/3-IZUaJQdKo @FDSafetyWeek
Installation Tip 4 - Poorly fitted fire door leaves are common. The main issue is the gaps around and between the leaves. You can check the gaps quickly using a pound coin (2.8mm thick). Gaps should be be 3mm (+/- 1mm) on all sides on smoke doors.
Installation Tip 3 - Most failures of fire doors in real fires are caused by faults with the door frame. Say you want to check it's installation before the architrave is fitted. This is going to be the most technical part you check.
Installation Tip 2 - Ask for evidence of competence for the fitters who are going to fit the door/s. Again part of the Golden Thread Information. @brelpcb
Installation Tip 1 - Ask for copies of the fire door's certification before the installation begins. This provides Information you need to keep as part of the Golden Thread. It also tells you vital information about how the door should be installed. @Warringtonfire
Procurement Tip 4 - In our experience the modern "blade" type of smoke seal fails much quicker than the traditional brush type. We have seen "blades" hanging off in large sections on little used doors in nursery schools less than 6 months after installation.
Procurement Tip 3 - In fire safety we encourage the maintenance of the 'Golden Thread'. This is an evidence trail for a fire door & it's components over its lifetime. It is good to start this process by specifying a certification scheme which provides each door with a unique ID.
Procurement Tip 2 - When specifying a fire door it is better to require a 'fire door set' than a 'fire door assembly'. The former has been tested along with all its components, the latter's components have all been tested separately. The assembly's actual fire rating is unknown.
Procurement Tip 1 - it is a false economy to fit a new fire door into an old frame. Fire doors are highly engineered, to do an exacting job. What is known about the providence of the existing frame? It is likely to be the weak link in the protection.
New fire doors cost a lot to install, so why are so many poorly installed? Here are a few examples of the defects we see. We'll post some tips on how to ensure you get better fitting doors and value for money throughout the next 2 days. @FDSafetyWeek
Fires can be ignited in many different ways. Did you know that in 2024-25 electricity was the main cause of fire ignition in English schools. @FDSafetyWeek @BritWoodFed @mhclg
@BritWoodFed warns that the rise in lithium-ion battery fires from e-bikes and e-scooters + poor fire door maintenance, poses a growing risk to lives and property. New research for #FDSW2025 shows 59% of owners are now more concerned about these risks. lnkd.in/dStC8UW
Fire is an unpredictable thing - you can never totally be sure what the outcome will be until it is extinguished. Damage can vary from single objects to whole buildings being destroyed. Graphic below shows extent of fire damage data for 2024/25 financial year in English schools

Lovely sunrise
A common defect found when inspecting Fire Doors are certificate labels, hinges and locks and latches being painted over. This causes an issue for inspectors but also staff as they are unable to identify their certificate numbers or standard, to ensure they comply.
Did you know gaps around a fire door should not exceed 3/4mm? A common issue found when inspecting fire doors especially brand new ones, are the gaps tend to exceed the maximum standard making these fire doors fail as soon as they are installed.
