“As part of our fire safety strategy, on all timber frame homes, during the progress of the build we install temporary fire proofing measures to ensure that other new homes in close proximity are not at risk in case of a fire. As we progress through the build and install our permanent fire safety measures the temporary measures are progressively replaced. We believe that these fire safety measures have prevented the fire spreading further.”
