Fire Safety Report Highlights Rising Fire Risks in UK Homes

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, U.K. - Feb. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Fire related incidents across England have fallen but fire safety experts warn that risks remain. According to the Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics England year ending March 2024, fire services attended 138,977 fires, a 22 percent decrease from the previous year. The decline is largely due to a drop in outdoor fires which had spiked during the hot summer of 2022.

However, the report highlights ongoing risks particularly in modern homes where open plan designs, synthetic materials, and high insulation contribute to faster fire spread. Vulnerable groups, especially children, the elderly, and those with mobility challenges, are most at risk with limited time to escape once a fire starts.

One of the most effective safety measures is the installation of fire suppression systems. The report notes that homes fitted with sprinklers have an 80 percent lower risk of fatalities. With more multi storey housing and densely populated developments, fire safety professionals are urging homeowners and developers to prioritise fire suppression.
