The coroner's concerns
1. lack of early fire detection and warning and protected means of escape
“The lack of early detection and warning of fire (i.e. the provision of smoke alarms) and a protected means of escape from the upper floor of the maisonette (which was at too high a level for escape by windows) contributed to the occupants being unable to escape from the fire”
2. lack of awareness among housing stakeholders about fire safety risks
“London Fire Brigade believes that stakeholders within the housing sector are not sufficiently aware of the risk of death or injury associated with inadequate fire detection and alarm systems and inadequate protection of the means of escape within the flat”
