WOBO thanks the National Fire Chiefs Council [NFCC] for the link to their update in respect of “Responsible Persons”
NFCC has been monitoring fires in high rise residential buildings and the effectiveness of the arrangements in place at those premises. Recently there have been instances where the automatic ventilation systems have not operated as intended, which has affected the evacuation arrangements in place and the emergency response, most notably at the New Providence Wharf fire in London. NFCC would like to draw Responsible Persons’ attention to this issue, the support guidance and information to improve the safety of residents.
