Industrial unit in north-west London engulfed in huge blaze

An industrial unit on Midland Terrace in Park Royal has been engulfed in a huge fire on Monday morning, which prompted twelve fire engines and 81 firefighters to rush to the site.

The two-storey building’s blaze also resulted in the evacuation of around ten people from nearby homes. The source of the fire has not been determined, but initial reports seem to point out that it’s connected to a biodiesel fuel company, a news article reveals.

In order to help minimize the effect of such unfortunate events, Tensor has implemented a top-quality Fire Roll Call feature within all of our Time & Attendance and Access Control systems.

Our advanced solutions can control up to two printers for evacuation reporting purposes. On activation of a fire alarm panel, automatic roll-call reports are printed listing the names and departments of cardholders who remain on-site. In addition, doors can be configured to open automatically on fire alarm activation and lock automatically once the fire alarm activation condition has ceased.

Reports can be grouped by a cardholder’s default resident fire point or by the fire point that they are currently booked on to. Printers are connected either via a direct cable connection or by direct IP and can be limited to reporting upon specific zones or fire points.

Plus, muster points can also be installed where cardholders scan upon arrival at a Muster point. In real-time, Tensor.NET Access removes the cardholder from the fire roll-call report to provide a real-time roll call of any cardholders who remain in the building.
