Hi, i am new to this forum and I was just looking for some advice. I have a bicycle and I have to park it outside but I am not sure if where I am parking it constitutes a fire risk. Obviously i don't want to park it there in case it is. I have enclosed a picture. If it is not a fire risk how can I show this [self assessment etc] to the housing manager to show that it is ok.

Kind regards,

James

The only fire risk your cycle poses is restricting the escape route providing it does not fall over and cause a tripping hazard, there should be no problems. The escape route is the door about 700 mm and there is a clear opening of about 2250 mm, but I would consider locking it to the railings for security and prevent it from being knock over.
