Many people throughout the UK live in tower blocks and flats. All flats are required to have a fire risk assessment as well as ensure that the building has a fire safety equipment that complies with UK law.

Most fires that raze down blocks of flats are usually caused by those living in those flats. One main factor of fire in flats is usually tied to carelessness. If residents can be extra cautious and be careful when dealing with anything that can cause a fire, there’d be fewer cases of fires in flats. We will have an in-depth look at some of the causes of flat fires shortly.

The simple purpose of a fire door in everyday use is just the same as any other door.
