This flat fire in Whitechapel was prevented from spreading due to a newly installed fire door within the flat. That’s the report coming from the Tower Hamlets Housing Association.
It’s an interesting article because we are talking here about different pieces of legislation (Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005) and (Housing Act 2004) and potentially a type 3 or 4 fire risk assessment that could have identified serious fire safety shortcomings in the flats themselves.
It’s worth reading because with the new Fire Safety Bill coming out this October, there will be a massive focus on compartmentation (internal and external) and fire doors will be one of the key issues which are expected to play a bigger part in future fire safety prevention.
