Prosecution

[KAS1]

Very well put I must congratulate you.................. I take my hat off to you as well

Don't know how they can be prosecuted, the fuse in a FCU or plug-top is not for the fans protection, only the lead or cord supplying it. Perhaps they should be prosecuting the manufacturer of the fan!! Far more likely this is just another tall story doing the rounds, or the story has been *******ised the further it went around!! lol!!

If thats true, which some have stated unlikley, that is incredibly harsh

BBC News - Lakanal House fire: Rafael Cervi's 'entire family' died

maybe this could be what the OP was talking about?

Have never ever fused a fan down in my life.......might do now

 

[markc123]

Can't say i have either, although i fuse heaters down when wiring them from a FCU accordingly so no idea why i don't do a fan when i look at it that way lol

I don't know if its that case in lakanal house, only what the ECA assessor said, which I already stated.
It's worth looking at the fan instruction now though I guess.

That Lakanal story is tragic.
I can't understand why they were on the phone rather than legging it down the stairs?

Im liking that post, as in i agree with what spin has said.

Tragic story. That poor fella lost everything.

Possibly trapped by smoke or fire.
Been there myself!

I think the cause of the Lakanal case was a faulty TV, listening to the radio earlier.
