Fire alarms save lives!

The legal stuff
In England and Wales, if you’re an employer, owner, landlord or the occupier of business or other non-domestic premises, you’re legally responsible for fire safety, and fire alarms are required by law to protect living spaces, escape routes, and kitchens. You need a current Fire Risk Assessment determining whether you need a fire alarm.
Head to gov.co.uk for more information about fire safety in the workplace. Please see our page Fire and smoke alarm requirements for landlords of domestic dwellings for more information about landlord obligations.
