“Within 25 minutes we were trading again! The fire training and practical fire drill provided by Code Red was pivotal to how well an emergency fire situation was turned round so quickly and professionally by my staff on that night.”
Our staff evacuated the clients speedily and safely through all available emergency exits assisting them to a place of safety outside the Tunnel. As soon as the fire brigade and police were satisfied the club was safe we allowed our clients back into the Tunnel to carry on enjoying their night. Scott Prunty, Manager, The Tunnel Nightclub.
