Fire Safety in Residential Blocks
Posted on January 3, 2012 by bill in NewsFeed

Question: if you live in a block of flats, should there be a fire alarm? Answer: (in true fire safety tradition) it all depends.

What we at Armstrong Fire Management work to is the new guide: Fire Safety in Purpose-Built Blocks of Flats, issued by the Local Government Group. This guide tells us that a fire detection system in the communal areas is not normally required. Domestic fire detection within each flat is of course an absolute necessity. Where automatic vents are installed, smoke detectors may be installed in the stairway to cause them to open up if smoke enters the area. The Fire Risk Assessment may occasionally find a need for a fire alarm, such as in older, converted buildings.

The primary aim of the Fire Risk Assessment is to determine whether a “stay-put” policy is acceptable in the building. A new development in Fire Risk Assessment is that the guide tells us to bring in a builder to assess the construction where there is some reason for doubt. After all, we want to be able to say that if fire occurs in a flat, it will not spread to other flats before the Fire Brigade, having been called, can arrive and make the situation safe. Clearly, sending for the Fire Brigade promptly is vital and the Fire Action Notices should reflect this. So the occupiers of the affected flat should evacuate, but others can “Stay Put”. The Fire Risk Assessment has to address the issue of getting information to the occupiers as to the correct actions to be taken if fire occurs.

There are other issues to address under the Fire Risk Assessment. These depend upon the block and the way it is used.
