November 3, 201510 yr comment_8141 I recently received an email from the shared landlord/management company of the building that I live in, informing me that they conducted a fire drill and it is "no way possible to conduct a full scale evacuation incase of a fire" Please can you inform me as to whether being unable to do a full evacuation of a building is legal? If the building is outside of its legal requirements can you please advise action that I can take? FYI, the building is let specifically to students. Kind Regards Giorgio Report
November 3, 201510 yr comment_8153 In a block of flats The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 only apply to the common areas and as nobody lives in the common area so there is no requirement to conduct a fire drill but if it is possible then it could be a benefit to the residents. Report
