two years ago the house next door went up in flames - it was terraced house occupied by at least 8 - 10 lodgers - with a high turnover of people - certainly no tennancy agrements etc.
the fire alarm was going off pretty much all day and night - so many people cooking, and it was in the kitchen.
when the real fire happpened - of course no one was " alarmed" because...we had all heard it before so many times.
A kind samartion walking by alerted me and the people in the house still sleeping next door. Thanks to him, and only to him, no one was seriuolsy hurt or killed.
The house after being empty and rented to a family is now back to lots of lodgers as of sunday and once again the fire alarm is being set off - from morning till night - once over ten times.
am i being un reasonable to expect the coucil to jump at mine and my neighbours requests for the landlords to be educated on fire hazzards and to go into the house to make sure its safe?
the council response has been lack lusture - weak...and not keen to help at all. i am also currenlty 35 weeks pregnant and been ill all this week due to stress from jumping up to invesitage whether a fire is going on.
does any one have any legal knowlegde/ training that i can quote at the council to GET THIER ARSES IN GEAR before another catasphophe happens!
