From FIA:
A hotel manager who used to operate the Kedleston Country House Hotel near Derby has been ordered to pay £5,000 for failing to adhere to an enforcement notice.
The notice was served by Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Authority after an investigation found that there was inadequate emergency lighting and fire doors in the sleeping accommodation.
Steve Wells, who is group manager for Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, said that hotel owners have to accept a huge amount of responsibility for the safety of their guests.
"People who own and manage hotels are under a high duty of care to their guests," he said.
"This is because those staying there are unfamiliar with the layout of the hotel and will be entirely reliant on the fire safety measures provided by the owners and operators to make sure that they can get out safely in the event of a fire."
