Local authorities prepare guidelines for property owners and occupiers on fire safety standards including identifying fire safety precautions, maintaining training records and inspecting fire safety active systems and first aid equipment.
Local authorities, together with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, run themed events during National Fire Safety Week. The events aim to raise awareness about fire safety and prevention in the home and community.
Local authorities respond to requests from councillors and Oireachtas members on behalf of members of the public about local authority services they want to access or which may affect them.
You must apply to the local authority for a Revised Fire Safety Certificate if you are changing the design or works which may alter your original Fire Safety Certificate.
Local authorities work with their service users to understand their needs, redesign services and develop ways to improve access to and deliver better local authority services.
