Fire Alarm!
Soon to be completed is a fire alarm and safety lighting system. It is an integrated system controlled by a panel at the front of the house.
Each corridor will have a call- point from which to raise the fire alarm- rather than pressing the button outside the office window!
This project has been years in the making: We had strong recommendations raised in 2001 that we acted on. Being Fire Marshal at that time prompted me to simplify out smoke detector and emergency lighting system. In 2007 a proposal was taken to the Padmaloka council and given the go-ahead. We have had work done in three phases: first the main house, secondly from the kitchen down to the end of the support team accommodation, and third and lastly we are about to have the rose-alley buildings, shrine, stupa court yard and dining room covered. So we can all sleep even sounder now- unless the sounder goes off above your head…
