Fire Safety - Communal Areas

Have you looked at the building regs documents for fire safety [approved documents B]? It may seem like a bit of a chore but it's at least worth skimming.

I agree with need an answer, ask the local local fire officer.

Fire safety isn't necessarily just common sense even in a small block of flats. For example it's not obvious to avoid doormats, plant pots etc in the communal hallway but fill the area with smoke and they are a trip hazard. So I say get a professional view.

Also maybe some training on how to use extinguishers etc. at least make sure everyone reads the instructions.
