#492 DEBRIEF: Glasgow School of Art Fire, Failure and the Hidden Highway

 In this incident debrief, we examine the two devastating fires at the Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh Building in 2014 and 2018, unpacking how heritage construction, hidden ventilation ducts, timber voids, compromised fire protection during restoration, delayed detection, and an unfinished water mist system combined to create one of the most painful fire safety lessons in modern UK firefighting. The episode explores the operational response, the difficult shift to defensive firefighting, the challenges of commanding a rapidly developing heritage building fire, and the uncomfortable gap between knowing a risk exists and actually implementing the solution before the next incident happens.  Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HERE (  / tffpc  ) Podcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE (https://www.firefighterspodcast.co.uk...)  Please check out our Partners supporting this episode are William Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on website (https://williamwoodwatches.com/) PBI high-performance fabrics  (https://www.pbiproducts.com/homepage) GORE-TEX Professional Clothing (https://www.goretexprofessional.com/i...)
