Question:

What are my landlords responsibilities ?

For example, what are the fire regulations in the uk for locks on doors, i can't currently open any of them from the inside without a key, does he need to supply saftey devises such as fire blanket ect what about light bulbs that are too high to be able to fit ourselves. I've looked online but can't find anything about the doors at all.i live in a shared house.

Answer:

The ABC dry chemical that comes out of the extinguisher is no where near as bad as being burned. The dry chemical dust is not toxic but it can coat your lungs just like any type of powder. The dry chemical is also not the best choice for using on a burning person because it does not cool the burning material. Even so the dry chemical can extinguish the flames, the person will continue to be burned by the heated material and clothing. The extinguisher you should use would be a AFFF foam or CAFS(compressed air foam) extinguisher. The water in foam cools the burning clothing (and person) and is more effective on the class A material that clothing is made of. The next best choice would be a water extinguisher filled with soapy water. By the chem help part of the question I take this as a lab question? If so you would just use the fire blanket to smother the flames on the person. Do not take it off until all the flames are extinguished. Then use the emergency shower to cool the peron's body if it was a large part of their body.
How would you get it close without suspision? Anyways with some women you don't even need a device
