If you live in a multi‑occupied residential building with shared areas, you will have received a letter and leaflet explaining the fire safety procedures for your building.
Your building will have one of the following:
Check your building’s fire action notice, your leaflet, or contact the Compliance Team to confirm which applies.
If there is a fire elsewhere in the building (not inside your home), it is normally safest to remain in your flat unless the fire or smoke is affecting you.
A pdf version of the Fire Safety Booklet can be found here.If the fire alarm sounds in any part of the building or in your home, you should leave immediately and follow the evacuation route.
A pdf version of the Fire Safety Booklet can be found here.We install and maintain fire doors to help keep you, other residents, and visitors safe. Fire doors are fitted to flat entrance doors, as well as communal cupboards and corridor doors, wherever needed.
We do this even though our buildings are below the 11‑metre legal threshold, as an additional commitment to your safety.
You can refer to the Fire Action Notice displayed inside the building for key fire safety instructions.
If you haven’t received a letter or are unsure which fire strategy your building follows, please contact the Trust on 0300 303 9848 and ask for the Compliance Team. They will be happy to help with any questions.
