With all of the focus on residential buildings in the aftermath of Grenfell, it is easy to overlook the problems faced by those in charge of fire prevention, safety and evacuation for educational buildings. These are subject to many of the same challenges as their domestic counterparts, with added difficulties stemming from the fact that many occupants will be young and, in some specialist institutions, of limited mobility. Such buildings can be a headache for fire installers and building managers, although many of these issues can be overcome with wireless fire devices.
