Snoozebox offers flexible hotel configurations from 40 to 400 rooms which can be fully operational and ready to welcome guests within 48 hours of arriving at almost any event or location around the world.

The customer required fire extinguishers that were easy to operate, suitable for most types of fire and, if utilised, would not leave a mess.
Safelincs provided and installed the latest water mist extinguishers. These appliances have a supersonic nozzle that disperses microscopic ‘dry’ water mist particles to suppress fires and extinguish burning materials quickly and easily. They can be used on just about every type of fire, including electrical and deep fat fryer fires, and are 100% environmentally friendly, so there are no nasty fumes or residues to contend with and the water mist protects the user from heat
When fire broke out in The Snoozebox Marquee, a trained member of staff was able to quickly and safely put it out using a water mist fire extinguisher.
The fire started when the guest put a croissant inside a toaster. “It was really too big for the toaster and soon caught fire,” explained Tom Dodson, Project Manager, Snoozebox.
“Fortunately we had equipped the marquee with a water mist fire extinguisher that safely smothered the flames without causing any damage to the room, which may have been the case if we had installed a foam or powder extinguisher. And amazingly, after we had it inspected and PAT tested, the toaster was put back into service!”
Furthermore, Snoozebox were eligible for a free replacement extinguisher. Any customer who purchases fire safety equipment from Safelincs that is effected by a fire is entitled to have it replaced or repaired free of charge.*
