Retrofit & Fire Safety

Retrofitting millions of homes is key to achieving the UK’s net-zero targets — but what are the hidden fire safety risks? The NFCC’s Organisational Learning team recently brought together experts in fire engineering, retrofit design, regulation, and policy to discuss the challenges and opportunities retrofit presents for the Fire and Rescue Service and wider stakeholders. The conversation explores how new materials change fire dynamics, gaps in regulation, accreditation, and accountability, what this means for operational firefighters, and how we can future-proof retrofit decisions.
