There can be nothing more terrifying for tenants in a residential block than a mobility scooter fire.
The materials used in the construction of a scooter can enable a fire to reach 375˚C within three minutes and the volumes of toxic smoke generated can make escape from a flat almost impossible if a scooter is parked close to an exit.
metroSTOR has produced a five-point plan for mobility scooter drivers and social landlords to minimise risk. Whether a blaze is caused by an electrical fault linked to a scooter battery or started through arson with a scooter parked alongside the outside of a property, there are ways to reduce risk.
