Which type of building burns faster?
Answer An open plan home or business with few dividing walls
Firefighters have had to face a whole new challenge since the advent of the open floor plan. Nowadays, you can see through from the front door to the back, and often, you can see up into a loft, library or waiting/sitting room, creating a non-stop source of fuel in the event of a fire. Flames can leap from carpets and drapes on one floor right to the next, unlike offices and homes with individual rooms and doors to starve a fire out.
