Flat

We work closely with housing providers and managing agents to support fire safety in blocks of flats so that buildings are safe and residents can feel safe.

The webpages below provide information for residents living in flats on:

  • What to do if you have a fire or become aware of a fire (dependant on the evacuation strategy for your building).
  • Fire safety advice in your flat.
  • Fire doors and why they are important.
  • What you can do to help keep your building safe.

For your own safety, it is important to understand what to do in the event of a fire, whether it’s in your flat or somewhere else in the building.
