hi just had the firemen out to check the alarms

but thats all they did, will this be enough for ofsted ,i have my emergency escape route done

but i have heard stories on here that the firemen do a lot more than just smoke alarms

obviously i will be getting extinguishers and fire blankets and that

my question is, is it compulsary for other checks to done, or will this be enough for ofsted

The statutory requirements for fire regulations are here -

There is no requirement to have the fire brigade out - but it is good practice.

They should have done a home safety check for you, but as I say it is not required.

Hth :D

When i had them out, they fitted alrams in the childrens bedrooms and went through asking me questions about extension leads and there usage and also what i would do in the event of a fire.
