Everything you need to know about Fire Risk Assessments and their different risk ratings.
Fire Risk Ratings
A Fire Risk Rating looks at the risk of a fire and its impact. The assessment also gives a rating of what the risk level would be after any recommended actions are made.

A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a report on the fire hazards within the communal areas of a building. It explains the potential risks and check fire safety measures already in place. It will also give recommendations if more safety measures are needed to prevent, control, and reduce the effects of a fire.
Electrical appliance safety
Many people use electrical appliances (like washing machines and tumble dryers) at night, because of cheaper energy tariffs. This shouldn’t be a safety risk however, emergency services tell us that fires at night are more likely to cause serious injury.
Because of this it's important to make regular safety checks on all of your appliances, and take a look at the National Product Recall Register.

Fire alarms in buildings
Most of our blocks have 'stay put' strategy in place, which means they don't have communal fire alarms. This follows fire brigade recommendations. In a building with a stay put strategy, a communal alarm system can be confusing and cause resident to mass evacuate. This can be dangerous and stop firefighting from reaching the fire.
