Enforcement
We carry out inspections across a wide range of premises. If potential fire safety issues are found, action can be taken.
The advisory leaflet below is available to ensure that you are aware of the inspector's powers and to explain any enforcement action the Fire and Rescue Authority may take to rectify any deficiencies. The inspector will explain the reason for the inspection and what you will be required to provide during the inspection.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service issue these types of notices under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Publication on the national register also fulfils our responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. To view the national Enforcement Register, please click on the link below:
Prosecutions
We recognise that most individuals and businesses want to comply with the law and we are here them in trying to achieve that compliance. However, on occasion we may have no option but to prosecute. The decision to prosecute an individual or company is a serious step and not taken lightly.
