This Winter do not become a victim of a Mobility Scooter fire!

Mobility scooters are often stored and left to charge in the sterile areas outside of an occupier’s residence. The practice of storing mobility scooters in sterile areas places an unacceptable risk to other occupiers and must be discouraged.

Oct. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service adheres to the policy that protected corridors and staircases, as well as common areas in flats and sheltered housing are to be maintained as sterile areas at all times. A sterile area should not contain any flammable items or materials, any items or substances that may act as an ignition source or objects that could pose as trip hazards.

Mobility scooters offer an increased fire loading and potential source of ignition. If involved in fire they can release large amounts of highly toxic smoke and gases. If stored in protected corridors,staircases or common areas (sterile areas) a fire in a mobility scooter could affect the means of escape and place an unacceptable risk to all occupiers within the building. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 would expect such risks to be mitigated.
