Whatever you do – do not obstruct escape routes, your building has been designed with fire safety in mind. The walls and doors between flats, stairs and corridors are specially designed to resist fire and stop the spread of smoke.
When they are not in use:
• Fire doors must not be propped open.
• Escape routes must be kept clear.
• Stairs and corridors must be kept clutter free.
• Trip hazards and materials that burn or smoke easily must be removed.
Please remember that when you share a building with other people, your safety and theirs depends on everyone co-operating. As a resident of the building, you are responsible for making sure that areas are kept clear of obstruction and materials that can be easily set on fire.
