Mr Hugo Swire (East Devon, Conservative)
Can my hon. Friend also envisage a time when firefighters might need not only to enter a building, but to demolish it in order to prevent a fire
from spreading and getting more serious? For instance, in an area in which there was a row of thatched houses, there could be a makeshift building in between the building in which the fire broke out and that row of houses. Firefighters might need not only to break into that building, but perhaps even to destroy it in some way.
