High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the number of qualified chartered fire engineers who can carry out an EWS1 survey.
- Answer
-
The EWS1 process was designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors to support the valuation of flats in high-rise blocks. In some cases, this will require an assessment by a fire engineer. The Institution of Fire Engineers has informed MHCLG that there are around 291 chartered fire engineers.
