raise both wheels off the road, and then see how it feels with engine off and with engine running

Long crow bar and a wooden bit as a fulcrum, and engaging the one end into the keyhole and stepping on the other end of long crowbar would move any stuck manhole cover, however, may be worth wetting the edges with water to soften any dirt and grit that may have embedded into the gaps around the...

None of the houses where I live would even meet the 1660s Fire safety regulations, all houses have eves, many have flat roofs with bituminous felt! Bernard, I got a feeling you also live in a thatched roof cottage! We are all doomed!

Camden Council leader made a very rash and unwise decision, just to cover their past failings, evacuating residents causing unnecessary panic and much inconvenience to occupiers, which can only result in anger and confusion and unnecessary public expenditure, it was a rather a shear stupidity...

Anything that you plug in, has a good chance of catching fire than you winning lotto jackpot

In some large office buildings, a Fire Alarm System is a must , and weekly tests are also carried out and every now and again, evacuation drills are also carried out regularly, if at anytime a fire alarm system develops a serious fault, or serious faults are discovered upon testing, the whole...

In the news today, Camden Council has started to evacuate residents from their towers and sending them to various rescue centers to sleep rough on floors on mattresses, until their towers are made safe in two to three weeks time, because they now realise importance of life of residents, I...

I just hope Woody hasn't got a Hotpoint fridge freezer, especially FF175BP, then his wooden doors and architraves will be Ok, otherwise I would suggest he fits sprinkler system all around his fridge to be more safe. By the way a Fire Door FD30 is also made of combustible material called...

No in your case Woody it is perfectly all right and pretty safe, so sleep worry free, and sleep well, I have no idea why people panic when they see these youtube videos someone lighting wood with a blow torch, even steel catches fire eventually if you supply enough heat and oxygen. How do you...

Celotex, another widely used insulating material in nearly every home and other buildings, including I picked up a few pieces that were surplous to the requirement from a friend's house when he had his loft conversion done, there were 5 sheets of 8x4 x 50mm thick pieces being left outside for...

interestingly, yes the edges should also have been covered by aluminium layer, so assuming the initial fire broke through the window, and flames started to leap upwards, if the edge was bare, flames would certainly ignite the inner insulating material, so this is where the problem must have...

It is called revolutionary advances in Building Construction, I am a fan of it, we got to stop using bricks but use them in certain areas where you can't use anything else, FOR NOT ONLY THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ROOF IN PRICE, (sorry for caps) at nearly pound a brick! now a days you have to...

so how do you define that? according to me, a true heroic person is one who without a mask, full body protection, and fire resistant suit goes into a burning building and fetches out helpless children alive. Personally the people who were asked to stay put, they must have been heroic, because...

flapping about and panic going on is a real concern, 79 people didn't lose their lives for nothing, they are probably heroes for saving future lives! They were the guinea pigs! Let us hope we learn important lessons from their sacrifices.

Personally, No, I wouldn't think twice. What is going to happen is going to happen no matter how much you try to avoid, certain events cannot be avoided, have people stopped boarding ships and ferries since zeebrugge ferry incident? No, or stopped travelling in trains because of terrorism? No ...

So that might mean that when the Fire crew that first arrived at the scene of fire, or attended to the fridge fire in the kitchen, after putting it out, they may have started to lax a little as they probably thought all was well, and not thinking flames had escaped through the windows and...

most of the Fire and safety regulations are already adequate and in place , question is why they were not complied with http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20151113141044/http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/br_pdf_ad_b1_2013.pdf

They asked for hugs, you forgot that.

Incidents like these, natural ones and man made ones, best and worst of humanity surfaces. Human being an evolved species from Apes, is not to be trusted fully. Always watch your back. This is the main lesson I have learned, not that we should not use cladding of any sort to cut down on heat...
