Opposites Attract

A basement end passageway has a resident flat. The flat entrance is a final exit door onto an exterior escape route (the outside) so doesn't have to be a fire door. Directly opposite that flat door (no more than three feet) is a riser room under the above pavement which contains electrical meters/cables etc. This riser room door vents to the outside so does not have to have a fire rating. My issue is - despite the correct calls from the fire safety assessment - that the resident must surely have their safety compromised should there be an outbreak of heat/smoke/fire from the riser area. The escape route is compromised and the resident and their property are vulnerable at such close proximity with no adequate fire barrier between themselves and the incoming fire load. It is unknown as to whether or not there is a rear escape option or the resident is physically capable of accessing it (elderly/infirm.)

As a fire door inspector my concerns have been superseded by the fire safety report. I did feel the need to make an addendum outlining the issues around personal health and safety, property damage, duty of care. Should more preventative measures be included within either report? Appreciate any thoughts.
