Dear Resident
Does your property have fire doors? Fire doors are a vital part of your building's fire safety. They are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, helping to protect people and property.
However, they only work if they are properly maintained and used correctly.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is reminding landlords, business owners and building managers to make fire doors part of their routine fire safety checks.
What You Should Check
Make sure your fire doors are: Closing fully into the frame Fitted with intact hinges and seals Not wedged or held open Free from damage, with any faults reported and repaired quickly
Why This Matters
Fire door safety issues are still commonly found, including: Doors wedged open Damaged or poorly installed doors Missing seals or faulty parts Lack of routine checks
These issues can prevent a fire door from working as intended during an emergency.
Take Action If you spot a problem, report it straight away to your landlord, facilities team or building manager. Fire doors save lives, but only when they are properly maintained and used correctly.
