What exactly are fire doors?

Fire doors are specially designed doors with unique properties that help prevent the spread of fire within a building.
They are made of fire-resistant materials and equipped with seals and closers to prevent the passage of smoke and flames, giving you extra time to escape in case of a fire emergency.

Why are they important?

• Containment: They help contain the fire to a specific area, preventing it from spreading rapidly through the building.

• Protection: Fire doors offer protection by blocking the entry of toxic smoke and gases, which are often more dangerous than the fire itself.

• Evacuation: They create safe escape routes, allowing tenants and residents to evacuate the building safely.

  As a tenant, it's crucial to recognize your responsibility in maintaining fire doors:

• Keep Them Closed: Always ensure fire doors are kept closed. This is especially important in common areas, as it prevents smoke and fire from reaching your living space.

• Do Not Prop Them Open: Never prop open fire doors, as this compromises their effectiveness in

Your Actions Can Save Lives

Remember, during a fire, every second counts. By maintaining and using fire doors properly, you are not only protecting your own life but the lives of your neighbours and fellow residents.

Fire Safety Tips for Tenants

• Know Your Escape Routes: Familiarize yourself with the building's evacuation plan and know the location of fire exits.

• Report Damage: If you notice a damaged or malfunctioning fire door, report it to your landlord or property management immediately. 

Stay safe by keeping your fire doors closed.
