Officals at a U.K. hospital vowed action after an inspection found that Fairfield General Hospital in Manchester had stored combustible items in escape routes, wedged open fire doors and left storeroom doors unlocked, according to an article on the This is Lancashire website.
The concern was that anyone wishing to start a fire deliberately could set fire to flammable liquids in the store room and that, if a staff member went to use a fire door, it would not trigger an alarm, the article said.
Most of the issues were of a general housekeeping nature and have already been addressed, a hospital official said.
"A program of works has been prepared for more technical issues and GMFRS are working with the trust to ensure full compliance is met," estates operations manager, John Allwork, said.
