An architect says it should be mandatory for sprinkler systems to be installed during conversions of historic buildings, including hotels, in the wake of the fatal Cameron House Hotel fire.
Peter Drummond, who specialises in heritage and conservation work, gave evidence at a Fatal Accident Inquiry at Paisley Sheriff Court today (Monday).
The inquiry is being held into the deaths of Simon Midgley, 32, and Richard Dyson, 38 who died at the Loch Lomond hotel on December 18, 2017 after a blaze – caused by a night porter disposing ash in a cupboard – swept through the five-star resort.
