No sprinklers on burned hotel floor
Quote:
No sprinklers on burned hotel floor The banquet room on the fifth floor of the Grand Park Avenue Hotel, where Thursday night's fatal fire started, had no sprinklers and was probably built in an area planned as a carpark, Deputy Bangkok Governor Thirachon Manomaipibul said on Friday. The whole floor had no sprinkler system installed, and the floor-to-ceiling distance appeared to be too low, Mr Thirachon said after inspecting the 15-storey, four-star hotel in Sukhumvit Soi 22 this morning. He suspected the floor might have originally be designed as a carpark and the used for other purposes as part of the hotel's extension. An initial inspection found the premises occupioed by the Grand Park Avenue Hotel were registered as a residential building in 1989, and the owners sought permission to operate as a hotel in 1992, Mr Thirachon said. Buildings that were built before 1992 were not required to install sprinklers under the 1992 Building Safety Control Act. City Hall announced plans to draft a new ordinance demanding that owners of older buildings comply with the 1992 Building Safety Control Act following Saturday’s fire at the 33-year-old Fico Place highrise building in nearby Soi Asoke, Sukhumvit soi 21. City Hall will set up 50 teams comprising officials from the Public Works Department. Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, City Law Enforcement Department and District Offices to inspect large private buildings in all 50 districts of Bangkok to ensure they comply with the building control law. Pichaya Chantaranuwat, chair of building safety committee of the Engineering Institute of Thailand, said after inspecting the firte-damaged Grand Park Avenue Hotel that there was only one fire exit on the fifth floor where the fire started and no fire doors to prevent the blaze and smoke from quickly spreading to other floors. The fire was reported around 9.40pm Thursday night. There were 23 hotel guests reported injured. Most were Russian. One of the injured, an Asian man, was later pronounced dead at hospital. Medical staff said he died from smoke asphyxiation. ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork Report from The Nation dated 10 March 2012 :- Hotel did not have an 'adequate' sprinkler system In the wake of a recent deadly hotel fire, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will complete the inspection of all big buildings in the capital by yearend. The BMA has already set up 50 teams for the purpose and is planning to hire certified inspection firms to help as well. On Thursday night, a blaze erupted inside the banquet hall of Grand Park Avenue Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 22, causing one death and hospitalising more than 20 others, most of whom were foreign hotel guests. All of the victims have suffered from smoke inhalation, and at press time, at least one had slipped into a coma. Ongoing investigation suggests that an inadequate sprinkler system might have been responsible for the blaze not being brought under control soon enough. Firemen and volunteers spent more than half an hour to put out the fire. "There were no sprinklers where the fire broke out, though there are sprinklers in other areas. So, we suspect that the affected area might have been modified from the original plan," Deputy Bangkok Governor Thirachon Manomaipiboon said. Thong Lor Police Station superintendent Pol Colonel Rathasak Raksalam said yesterday that police would determine the cause of the fire, though he said the BMA needed to see if the hotel had violated the 1992 Building Control Act. The Act requires that a firesprinkler system be installed in buildings with more than seven floors. Grand Park Avenue has operated as a highrise building and features 221 rooms. According to Thirachon, the failure to build or keep buildings in the condition stated in approved plans is punishable by a jail term of up to three months, a oneoff fine of up to Bt60,000 plus a daily fine of up to Bt10,000 until the adjustments are made. Bangkok City Council chairman Suttichai Weerakulsunthorn said that though the Building Control Act was applicable to buildings constructed from 1992 onwards, he would ask the owners of all other big buildings to comply with safety standards as prescribed by the Act. Bangkok Councilor Pipat Larpprathana said that if building owners refused to cooperate, the BMA would inform the public that their facilities did not meet safety standards. "In that case, it will be difficult for their facilities to attract tenants," Pipat said. "So, I think the private sector should be willing to cooperate." Suttichai disclosed that the BMA might consider buying a 20seat helicopter to boost its fireextinguishing and rescue capabilities. "A highrise building is required to have a helipad," he pointed out ----- KatoeyNewsNetwork
