The London Fire Brigade has announced it will no longer respond to automatic fire alarms during daytime hours, aiming to improve resource allocation and fire prevention.
This change follows a public consultation and will apply between 7am and 8.30pm, allowing the brigade to focus more on operational training.
The decision stems from statistics revealing that false alarms constitute 40% of calls, with less than 1% of alarms actually indicating real fires.
Assistant Commissioner Craig Carter emphasized the brigade will still respond to alarms at premises where people sleep, ensuring safety in residential environments.
