Nice episode well done Tom Dave and Guests, however I am guessing this will not be heard by many residents of flats! It’s a shame that good information is not always paassed on to the very people who need to hear it. The residents engagement talked about in the Hackett review needs to start happening and perhaps this could be made into a Youtube video which residnets can be signposted to. Visuals for those who have no knowledge of fire doors would be useful. Gerda what about an information campaign?
