OKEHAMPTON Fire Station will host a free event offering fire safety advice for hotels and guest houses in the area.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service has organised a series of free fire safety compliance events for hoteliers and those running guest houses to ensure they are aware of and complying with the requirements of the current fire safety legislation to ensure the safety of guests and staff.
The events follow a number of high profile fires in these types of premises across the South West in recent years, as well as a number of legal prosecutions for failure to comply with fire safety legislation.
The event will assist attendees to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is the current fire safety legislation. There will be a short presentation on the requirements imposed by this legislation, and guidance on how to satisfy these requirements.
Members of the fire service will be on hand to answer questions and signpost people to further information and assistance.
The Okehampton event takes place at Okehampton Fire Station on Tuesday February 12 from 2pm to 4pm.
