2xfirefighters died when cable fell on them and tangled in their ba sets.preventing them getting out of property.
The cables were in plastic trunking running back to the consumer unit in the hallway.
There is a report if anyone wants to read it .

I think it's in reply to earlier posts which said it was too late for anyone to be in the building by the time the rawl plug melted.

As has been said, the regulation is to protect the firefighters.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But I'm intrigued to know what the recommendations are going to be as far as what fixings to use in these areas. Daz

I'd imagine it's not the raw plugs getting hot directly from the fire, it's the heat transferred through the bracket and the screws. If the rawplugs are polyethylene they'll melt at maybe 120-140 Celsius so I'd imagine it could be an issue. Maybe drop-in threaded anchors and thread rods would be better.
