Fire Sector Federation

AXA Commercial – itself a division of AXA Insurance UK plc – is advising London businesses to review their fire risk assessments and staff training in the wake of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) announcing that it would no longer respond to daytime activations of automatic fire alarms in most non-residential buildings from October.   In the year to March 2024, the LFB attended 52,000 false calls generated by automatic fire alarms. From October – and as reported by Fire Safety Matters – automatic calls will not be answered between the hours of 7.00 am and 8.30 pm in a bid to reduce the burden on Fire and Rescue Service resources.

The Fire Standards Board are pleased to share the draft Digital and Cyber Security Fire Standard for consultation. The draft Fire Standard has been developed with subject matter experts from the network of Fire and Rescue Service ICT Managers, Home Office specialists, representatives from the National Fire Chiefs Council Digital, Technology and Cyber Board, as well as other key stakeholders. The Board are keen to receive feedback from all Fire and Rescue Services, as those the Standards will apply directly to, but we also welcome responses through our online consultation questionnaire from any stakeholders. The consultation will close on Monday 17th June 2024. You can see the draft Fire Standard and respond to the consultation on our website https://lnkd.in/dfiTPeuV
