ROOF STUDY HIGHLIGHTS FIRE SAFETY ISSUES

摘要

Four potential key reasons for the spread of fire in roofing voids were identified in a new major study by fire safety experts commissioned by the Government. The study, commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government, investigated a number of specific issues relating to fire compartmentation in roof voids, carried out by a team of experts from Exova Warrigtonfire and Butler and Young Ltd. The safety experts carried out the study following a number of fires in relatively modern apartment buildings which resulted in fires in roof voids which spread quickly throughout the roof affecting all the top floor flats.
