Fire extingusihers should be provided for the wardens - you will normally find they will be kept in the Warden's office.

Extinguishers should also be provided for fire service use in things like plant rooms / large lift motor rooms.
how then on a 10ish storey building would an extinguisher be available to a member of staff within a 30m search distance i.e. bs5306
Risk assessment Jasper old chap!

Its like Anthony B points out, wardens would not be expected to tackle a fire in a flat, only perhaps a small fire in their office.

Not sure I agree with AnthonyB on the fire service not wanting to use the punters fire extinguishers in plant rooms

We always use the punters equipment wherever possible in our Brigade, cos we may get another shout straight after attending the plantroom where we require the use of our own extinguisher (the place we get called to next might not have an PFFE for example). BVut thats just us and we are weird!

obviously I need fra lessons

Lets hope that Kidde have trained the users and that litigation does not happen when it goes horribly wrong.

I don't think it is the responsibility of product manufacturers to ensure that the end users are trained.

But they are giving them out to residents as a freeby therefore it is their responsibility.

How cynical. As if a bumped up service contract was part of the deal. Nice piece of salesmanship there!
