Cameron House manager watched porter put hot ash in plastic bag days before deadly blaze

A Cameron House night manager was left “horrified” after watching a porter use a plastic bag to clear out a fireplace – days before the practice caused a fatal blaze which killed two guests.
Ann Rundell yesterday told an inquiry she challenged the staff member, asking ‘what the f*** do you think you’re doing?’

She said O’Malley was “within earshot” when she spoke to the other porter about it at around 1.30am.
“I was standing at reception doing computer work and I saw [him] with a bin bag. It was just a clear bag with water in it,” she told the inquiry.

“He was going to put the hot ash into the bag.”
Crown counsel Graeme Jessop asked what his reply was, to which she said: “He said well I can’t find a metal bucket. I said ‘well get a chafing dish from the kitchen, what you usually do.
“I remember him saying to me ‘okay boss, sorry boss’.”
When asked how it made her feel, she replied: “I was
