There are five major buildings at the end of the pier and they are all wooden
Supposing one of them goes on fire this afternoon?
Providing there were no human or animal casualties, and no seaborne Fire-fighting vessel, and the Fire Service hoses were not long enough to reach from the nearest hydrant - it would burn down and someone could probably claim on their Insurance Policy for some nice new ones!
Let's hope it doesn't burn down. ££$
Which makes me consider that for H & S reasons there should be Fire-fighting equipment
ON the Pier - say, a hydrant every 100 yards, or metres depending on your choice of length. After all there is a water supply along the length of it!
And surely the separate buildings should have some Fire Extinguishers?
As they are open to the public H & S must be properly considered and complied with, and I'm sure the requirements haven't changed since I was in business. D)
