Below is a paragraph from my response to an email I received yesterday from both a local authority and a fire authority regarding the same assessment. It relates to a cupboard under a stair.
The local authority officer is the lead due to the premises requiring a licence under the Housing Act.
?Using your assessment would mean disregarding, the relevant guides, the basic principle of fire and the fire triangle. You are suggesting that only two of the three elements, fuel, heat and oxygen need to be present for a fire to ignite. The fire triangle is used as a basic form of fire safety training and looks at the dynamics of fire itself. If you are aware of any revision to this approach I and probably the rest of world would like to be informed.?
Informed my client that there is nothing more I can do.
I await their response. Should be interesting.
