Real fires project - Publishable summary

Summary

The UK's Building Safety Regulator operates the 'Real Fires' project to assess the effectiveness of Building Regulations in England by investigating real-world fire incidents. The project, currently in progress until September 2024, systematically records and analyses fire incidents, categorising them by severity and relevance, with 238 incidents recorded between October 2022 and September 2023. This ongoing work aims to inform fire safety policy and guidance by providing practical insights into building performance during fires.
