Salford takeaway is hit with a fine for serious fire safety breaches
Fast food restaurant Delicious Foods Ltd in Eccles was fined £9,000 and ordered to pay £4,000 costs by Manchester city magistrates court after pleading guilty to nine fire safety offences, including failing to provide a suitable escape route, and to provide a fire alarm or warning system in case of fire.
‘The upper part of the premises was being used as a sleeping area and for general accommodation purposes,’ said Peter O’Reilly, director of prevention and protection at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. He added that the only escape route from the upper floors was a single staircase leading into the commercial kitchen; no emergency lighting was present; and the fire extinguishers had not been properly maintained. Any fire would develop rapidly and spread into the staircase, preventing anyone on the upper floors from escaping safely from the premises, he said.
Fire safety inspectors issued an immediate prohibition notice forbidding anyone to use the basement, first and second floors, as well as an enforcement notice ordering an improvement in conditions. Prosecution proceedings were also started.
