What is Fire Safety & Security
What is Emergency Fire Safety?
Emergency Fire Safety and Security are urgent measures taken to address immediate fire threats or security breaches. In the case of a fire, emergency protocols involve activating fire alarms, using fire extinguishers, evacuating occupants, and contacting emergency services. Emergency fire safety may also involve shutting down hazardous systems or electricity to prevent the fire from spreading.

What does property fire safety involve?
Property fire safety involves a number of measures, including:
Fire risk assessments: Landlords and freehold owners of residential buildings must conduct a fire risk assessment and take action to reduce or remove fire risks. Fire risk assessments should be reviewed annually, or more often if there are any changes to the building.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms: Landlords must install smoke alarms on each floor of the property and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with solid fuel burning appliances.
Escape routes: Landlords must ensure that escape routes are clear and accessible at all times, and that everyone in the building knows the evacuation plan.
Fire doors: Landlords should install fire doors and ensure they are regularly inspected and maintained.
Electrical and gas safety: Landlords should inspect and test electrical installations at least every five years, and ensure that gas equipment is safely installed and maintained.
Fire safety furniture: Landlords should ensure that any furniture they supply is fire safe.
Fire safety information: Landlords should provide residents with fire safety instructions and information on the importance of fire doors.

Carry out a fire risk assessment
Put in place and maintain fire precautions
Account for the structure, external walls, and flat entrance doors in the fire risk assessment

The Building Act 1984 and the Building Regulations 2010
