Not criticising a good deed, but there needs to be better education for drivers on how to respond to a vehicle #fires in road #tunnels. A 🧵

Means of escape & access for the fire & rescue services are part of the design considerations for modern road tunnels.
For a single direction tunnel, the assumption is that drivers will stop before the fire & leave their vehicles, evacuating in the opposite direction.

It’s not a good idea to drive past the fire as smoke control systems will typically be designed to ventilate smoke in the direction of travel & protect the means of escape/firefighter access route.
Passing the fire can lead to you being trapped in hot smoke & unable to breath.

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN Can you urgently confirm all #NightingaleHospital #firesafety standards have been met directly (HTM) or via risk based #fireengineering approach

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson Learned nothing from #grenfell or #summerlands
Now were loading #covid19 #NightingaleHospital with PVC fuel load + oxygen supply
+ non-complaint compartments
+ Reg bodies stating don’t expect building standards submissions!
= disaster in waiting

@SadiqKhan @NightingaleLDN @fionatwycross @LondonFire @NFCC_FireChiefs @labcuk @GeoffWilkinson Clip from the 1973 #summerlandfire (pic 3&4) which resulted in 50 fatalities - due to plastic materials + large in compartmented spaces
Now picture the same fire scenario @NightingaleLDN 4,000 bed mega filed hospital (pic 1&2) which approvals are suspect
