Dear [name of Fire Service],

I am a tenant of [name of your block or building] and I am writing to inform you that I believe I have identified {a breach/breaches} in fire safety in my building.

I have notified my landlord about the matter, but have not had a satisfactory response, so I am writing in the hope that you can assist.

{I believe that a Fire Risk Assessment has not been conducted for a period of more than twelve months.}
{The common ways of the building which act as a fire escape route are blocked.}
{There is no marked fire escape route.}
{The landlord is unable to inform me who is the Responsible Person for my block.}
{Flammable materials are being stored in my block.}
{I believe the gas system to be unsafe.}
{I believe the block to be a fire risk because of the way it was constructed.}
{The cladding is made of [ACM/HPL], a flammable material.}
{I believe that compartmentation has been breached.}
{Something else}

Would you be able to meet me in the block at some time, so that I can show you the situation?

Many thanks for any help you can give me in this matter.
