Report outlines Dundee City Council’s extra fire safety measures
Extra measures to further improve fire safety in Dundee City Council buildings following the Grenfell Tower tragedy have been outlined in a new report.
The measures include the installation of new fire and smoke alarms in domestic properties in line with new Scottish Government guidance.
Fire specialists have also been appointed to advise on the potential retrofitting of sprinkler systems in multi-storey blocks.
A report to the policy and resources committee, which will sit on November 19, covers areas including fire safety regulation, the council’s domestic and other properties, consultation on fire and smoke alarms, building standards and fire risk assessments.
The committee will hear that further reports are likely to follow detailing further recommendation from Scottish and UK government inquiries.
