The second fire in Birmingham city centre in just two weeks, most recently at the Premier Inn; a stark reminder of how quickly emergencies can happen. We’re relieved that all guests and staff were safely evacuated thanks to the swift actions of the West Midlands Fire Service and hotel team.

Events like this highlight the importance of well-planned and practiced evacuation procedures - especially in multi-storey accommodation, where every second counts.

We’re committed to ensuring that everyone - including those with mobility needs - can evacuate safely and quickly in an emergency. Because true safety means no one is left behind.

Contact us today to discuss how our solutions can help keep your building safe and everyone prepared in an emergency.

Guests were led to safety after a fire in the early hours below the hotel.

⚠️ Did you know?

In 2024/25, 2,972 formal notices were issued after businesses FAILED fire safety audits.

That’s 2,972 times organisations were told they weren’t doing enough to keep people safe.

When the alarm sounds, will your business be ready?

Without the right evacuation equipment, lives are at risk - and compliance is too.

We make sure no one is left behind in an emergency. Our life-saving evacuation chairs give everyone the safe exit they deserve, whilst helping you stay compliant.

A reminder from Birmingham: yesterday’s blaze on a 16-storey city centre building thankfully caused no casualties. But it shows how quickly fire can disrupt transport, close roads and put lives at risk.

Safe evacuation isn’t just about alarms and exits - it’s about planning for everyone, including people with mobility impairments.

Evac+Chairs save lives - providing a safe way down when lifts aren’t in service, ensuring people with limited mobility aren’t left behind.

✅Check your fire safety plan
✅Make sure evacuation routes are clear and accessible
✅Include Evac+Chairs
✅Train staff to use them

More than 30 firefighters are deployed to the scene on Colmore Circus Queensway in Birmingham.
