The building is a 1960s purpose built block of flats (self-managed). Concrete/brick fronted throughout and no cladding.
The area in the red box contains the communal bin bay and meter cupboard on the ground floor with an open passage to our gardens/garages.
Each of the doors indicated are nominal fire doors.
Recent guidance has indicated the need for FD30 door on the meter cupboard.
I'm director nominated as fire warden and wondering how this door is better classed.
We cannot see the risk of fire from this area coming back into the building, or indeed the scale of fire that might occur in such a space, and that's based on a 60 year history without any fire incidents.
We conducted a recent smoke test and all the smoke vented naturally through the semi-open bin bay with no leakage into the passage area.
The building is four contiguous blocks of six flats.
