July 29, 20241 yr comment_43964 Hi all, looking for some advice please. I completed an FRA on a FMO. The flat is split level premises. It has a single entrance/exit door leading on to an an external balcony/walkway. On exiting the door there is two means of escape via external stairwell either side of the premises. My question is, is the front door required to be an FD30s fire door? I'm sure I've read that if there are multiple means of escape from a premises, there is no need to install a fire door. I'd also be keen to know where this is referenced (I'm sure it's in ADB but is it mentioned in any of the CLG guides or purpose built flat guides - I couldn't see it!). Cheers Report
