We have a qualified fire engineer who are responsible for reviewing and providing advice on the fire safety aspects of all new buildings and alterations to existing buildings within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

There is a statutory requirement that requires a consultation to take place between us and a building control body. This applies where a new building is being erected, or where alterations are being made, to any existing building within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The team’s main objective is to make our community safer by providing advice and influencing the design of buildings so that the safety of the public, firefighters, property, and the environment is to a high standard.

Our Fire Engineering Consultation Team also gather building data information and transfer this onto a live risk log that is shared with our response and protection teams. This risk log helps them to understand the current risk in a geographical area and to prioritise relevant activities based on risk.
