Fire compliance failures Two senior firefighters from the City who spoke to Spotlight, say the two failings (mentioned by Kekana above) alone would sink a basic inspection or compliance audit. It was also not only the fire doors and the hydrant couplings that were faulty at Charlotte Maxeke. They say firefighters were not given building and floor plans of the hospital’s emergency exit plan when they arrived on the scene on the day of the fire. The emergency exit plan is essential for those needing to enter a burning building. Smoke-detection systems, fire alarms, sprinkler systems and the mechanisms that would have triggered the magnetic smoke doors were also not in working condition. And besides the non-compatible hose couplings there was also low pressure to the hydrants.
