The risk of spread of fire is considerable in blocks of flats due to their density. Prevention and making a Fire Escape Plan is key to your safety. Ensure you know what to do in an emergency. As part of your safety plan, install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and test weekly.

Fire Action Notices are displayed on the noticeboards. Do not store or leave items on the stairs, landings or passageways, which are escape routes. No petrol or other inflammable material be stored in flats or any part of the development. The covered common areas are smoke-free by law.

Hertfordshire Fire Service provides a Home Fire Safety self-check or request a Home Fire Safety Visit.
