It's become traditional to praise the emergency services, but the Morrison's fire again demonstrated their professionalism, along with store staff, as the building was evacuated without injury. As a businessman, I've sometimes complained about strict fire regulations but a fire like this does bring home the importance of being able to evacuate a building quickly. Sometimes we complain about red tape and regulations, however it's all too easy to forget the benefits that it sometimes brings. As ever, it's a question of balance.
