Interview with Chief Fire Officer
Interviewer: I have with me today Chief Fire Officer Williams, who I know is very worried about fires in public places.
Fire Officer: Yes, that's right, John. It seems terrible to me that it's often people who are out to enjoy themselves are killed by fires.
Interviewer: You're talking about fires at football grounds, cinemas, theatres, places, like that?
Fire Officer: Well, yes, that's right... Do you remember in 1983 in February during carnival week, sixty-four people were killed in a cinema fire in Turin in Italy. Then there was that terrible fire at Bradford City football ground...
Interviewer: And you're also worried, I suppose, about dance halls and discos.
Fire Officer: Oh, certainly, yes. There have been some tragic fires in those sorts of places... There was that awful fire at a disco in France... at St. Laurent du Pont. Over a hundred and forty people died in that one.
Interviewer: Yes, these really are tragedies. But how did they happen? How can we stop these things?
Fire Officer: Well, where you find a tragedy of this soft you usually find that there wasn't enough firefighting equipment, or that doors and windows were locked.
Interviewer: Why do people lock the doors and windows?
Fire Officer: Well, they want to stop the dancers or the cinema- goers getting in without paying. The trouble is, of course, that if there is a fire, people can't get out.
Interviewer: Well, Mr. Williams, have you got any advice to give people they go out for an evening?
Fire Officer: Well, yes. My advice is to think about fire risk and keep your eyes open. When you go to a disco, or a cinema, or the theatre, check everything around first of all.
