    Christopher Carlton Hart was found collapsed in a flat fire on 13 January 2019 and later died at Stepping Hill Hospital from complications of injuries sustained in the fire.

It is a matter of concern that, notwithstanding Mr Hart’s death, Johnnie Johnson Housing is apparently yet to undertake any formal review as to the introduction of sprinklers into all or a proportion of its properties. ”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The general-needs home was not considered high risk, so installing sprinklers was not warranted.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “I thought it useful to write back, just to re-iterate that there is no further action for us to take here. Mr Jenrick’s comments relate firstly to ‘blocks’. Mr Hart lived in a general needs home, built to standard in 1999. There was no high risk identified here to have installed a sprinkler.”
