UK fire safety

Fire safety officers have been issuing advice following a fatal fire on the Lincolnshire coast.

Chief fire officer, Paul Brown, says service responds to about 1,300 calls a year.

The Scottish government has been criticised by opposition MSPs after it announced a "renewed" action plan.

A committee casts doubt on whether the target of resolving the building safety crisis by 2029 will be met.

Multiple people were injured in the blaze, which was started in one of the block's stairwells.

Residents were told to leave the flats in Southampton's Ocean Village following a safety inspection.

Funding to protect flats from fire does not apply to buildings under 11m (36ft) or five storeys high.

People are being urged not to leave appliances unattended, or to overload them.
