No extinguishers in council buildings
A council has been panned for removing fire extinguishers from its buildings, with a critic saying people are being put at risk.
The Hutt City Council had removed most of the extinguishers from its facilities over the past 12 months following a review of its fire safety plans. Facilities include the administration buildings and War Memorial Library.
Council spokeswoman Caryn Ellis said in the event of a fire, the council’s priority was for occupants to evacuate, not to fight a blaze.
Do you have fire extinguishers at your work.
