£30 million funding scheme
Ensuring fire safety in residential buildings with flammable cladding
The UK Government has announced a £30 million Waking Watch Relief Fund, designed to help cover the cost of installing fire alarm systems in high-rise residential buildings where Waking Watch is currently in place.
- This funding aims to reduce reliance on expensive Waking Watch services by transitioning buildings to safer, more cost-effective fire alarm systems.
- Building owners and managers can apply for funding to install new fire alarm systems.
Understanding Waking Watch
A Waking Watch is a temporary fire safety measure designed to protect residents in buildings where fire safety concerns exist—particularly those with unsafe cladding or inadequate fire alarm systems. Trained fire marshals patrol the building 24/7, monitoring for signs of fire and ensuring a quick evacuation if necessary.
While Waking Watch is a crucial short-term solution, it can be costly and inefficient compared to a fully installed fire alarm system. Upgrading to an automatic fire detection system significantly enhances safety and reduces long-term costs.
