Why is it important to keep your front door and walkway clear of obstructions?
Our priority is to keep our tenants as safe as possible. If you live in a flat, your front door is also a fire door, so it's important to keep it clear of any decorations like wreaths. We don’t want to sound like the Grinch, but in an emergency, every second counts, and fire doors protect residents in flats and those who are trying to escape using common corridors. While wreaths can make your home look festive, it's safer to hang them inside. This might seem overly careful, but safety should always come first. Keeping fire doors clear helps to ensure that you, your family and other residents can get to safety in an emergency.
