    hi Yorkie - in an earlier post the OP said " the other people who live here own the leasehold to their flats and the freehold owner (our landlord) ......" so the OP's LL would presumably have overall responsibility for managing fire safety for the building and there should of course be evidence that a fire safety risk assessment has been undertaken.

    Ah yes, I was thinking that there was no obligation on a LL to provide fire blankets and extinguishers in the property itself, rather than thinking more widely about the communal parts of the building.
