The risk of a fire spreading quickly in terraced houses is well known.
Despite that, only 62 of the country’s 292 municipalities have taken inventory of the fire protection in townhouses and only 24 of these state that they have completed the inventory, reports Home & Rent.
Just over 60 percent of the townhouses that have been checked have deficiencies in their fire protection, shows a survey made by the newspaper.
Of the total of approximately 24,000 townhouse apartments that were examined by the emergency services around the country, over 15,000 had safety deficiencies.
