Friday at 13:064 days comment_55941 Hi.I live in a 4 story block of flats.This morning I noticed an orange light flashing on the fire vent box in the communal hallway. I then noticed the AOV window on the roof of the flats is completelty broken. I've reported this to housing. They said they are aware & it will take 3 weeks to repair. My concern is what if a fire was to happen . We would be smoked to dead. Report

If it had been a High Rise Residential Building in England over 18m/7 stories then, as a fault lasting over 24 hours, there would be a legal requirement to report this to the Fire Service, however no such duty exists for your size of block, but if you are concerned you can still consult the Business Fire Safety department of your Fire Service (where enforcement officers are based including those covering flats) or for general home fire safety guidance the Community Fire Safety department Report
