We're urging Theresa May to make homes safe from fire.
A great video and I would encourage everyone to sign the letter to the prime minister to make social housing homes safe but dare I say pretty much all Housing blocks should have this protection as well as all of our schools?
Dear John
Thousands of families are living in high-rise properties in the UK, yet
only an estimated 2 per cent of blocks have sprinkler systems. The evidence
is clear, fitting homes with fire safety systems, like sprinklers, saves
people's lives in the event of a fire.
So today I am calling on the government to use the Autumn Budget to make
homes safe. Will you join me?
Theresa
May — we urge you to fit all high-rise social housing with life-saving
sprinkler systems:
Independent
research has shown that sprinklers are hugely effective — extinguishing or
containing fires in 99 per cent of cases.
Sign
our letter now to help us make sure that residents of
high rise social housing can sleep safe in the knowledge that avoidable
disasters will not happen to them.
