Fire Rescue Services (FRSs) respond to thousands of fire incidents every year, with a large number of incidents not being directly linked to fires. Fire incidents will often lead to casualties, and in worst-case scenarios fatalities where occupants are unable to escape ravaging smoke and fire. All building structures must be in compliance with UK Building Regulations which ensures structures are built to a high standard, complete with adequate fire protection measures. Regulations change accordingly, so it’s important for construction professionals to remain up to date with new laws and regulations.
