I’ve been dealing with Fire Officers for the last 25 years and it’s true to say that in the past they use to be a little regimental to say the least, but.
“That’s all changed” According to my local Officer,
“People felt anxious in the past when the fire officer called because they were concerned with regard to having all the right requirements, this is no longer the case were now here to help”
It’s only after our Fire Officer’s review that I can understand the full extent of the new 2005 regulations.
For example; we’ve run the Cornerstones Guest House for the last 24 years and in that time Fire Officers told us what to do, and how it should be done. When our local Fire officer called round to review our Fire Risk Assessment we started at the top of the building, on the top landing was a set of pine draws which I confidently pointed out were just for decoration, ( you’re not allowed to store combustibles in your main means of escape area).
The draws encroached about 10cm into the doorway of one of the rooms, sounds wired but it didn’t look to bad and believe it or not we had no where else to put them even though it’s such a large building, and the last eight Fire Officers never mentioned them in there inspections in the past.
