Fire Kills – But It’s Preventable. Are You Compliant?

Every year in the UK, hundreds of fires break out in residential and commercial buildings, many of them preventable. In 2023 alone, there were over 140,000 fire-related incidents recorded by fire and rescue services across England, according to the Home Office.

Even more alarming:

• 243 fire-related deaths were recorded in the year ending March 2023.

• Over 7,000 non-fatal casualties occurred due to fires.

• The average cost of a commercial fire is now estimated to be over £650,000.

Despite this, thousands of UK properties remain non-compliant with fire safety laws. That’s not just risky, it’s illegal.

Are You Meeting Your Legal Duties Under UK Fire Law?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, if you own or manage non-domestic premises (or a multi-occupied residential building), you are legally required to:

✅ Conduct regular fire risk assessments
✅ Install and maintain fire detection and alarm systems
✅ Provide adequate fire-fighting equipment
✅ Ensure safe emergency exits and signage
✅ Train staff or tenants in fire safety procedures
✅ Maintain records of all fire safety activity

The recent Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022 have further tightened regulations, especially around high-rise residential buildings and fire door maintenance.

Non-compliance can lead to fines up to £5,000, unlimited penalties for serious breaches, and even prison sentences.
