Something a miss
Free Fire Risk Assessment Procedure.
In 2006 the responsibility of fire risk was transferred from the Fire Brigade to,
“Any person that has some level of control in premises must take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and make sure people can safely escape if there is a fire”
That quote is from a government stamped pamphlet endorsed by The Chief Fire Officers Association entitle,
“A short guide to making your premises safe from fire”.
Which, you can request from any fire station. It’s a sweeping statement to cover all types of buildings where people work, visit or stay.
Dorothy told me the Fire Officer had called.
“Fire Officer” I’ve not seen a fire officer for three years I thought.
Then I remembered having received a letter saying things where changing in 2005.
Under the old regime a fire officer called once a year unannounced to see if he could catch you out on something or other, lives are at risk so it’s right in a way and I always kept on top of everything in that department, but I must admit some of them were very regimental.
She told me what he had said and consequently I received a telephoned call from Grater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service who made an appointment for the local Fire Officer to call on the 18th of February.
It was the 15th January that’s odd.#
