22.1 A Member or Occupier of a Lot must not use or interfere with any fire safety
equipment except in the case of an emergency.
22.2 A Member or Occupier of a Lot must not obstruct any fire stairs or fire escape.
22.3 A Member or Occupier of a Lot must not allow the fire safety equipment, e.g. smoke
detectors as installed in respect to their Lot, to become non-operational. The Member
or Occupier must ensure compliance with all statutory and other requirements relating
to fire and fire safety in respect of their Lot; i.e. ensuring that all smoke detectors
installed in the Lot are properly maintained and tested monthly and that back up
batteries relating to smoke detectors are replaced whenever necessary.
22.4 To avoid False Alarm Call Outs by the Fire Brigade, a Member or Occupier of a Lot
must not:
(a) smoke on Common Property, including the corridors, floor landings, foyer, lifts,
stairwells and car-park or such other parts of the Common Property as the
Owners Corporation or its Manager may designate from time to time;
(b) open their apartment door leading to the lobby in non dangerous instances (such
as smoke from burning toast or other food), to eliminate the resulting smoke
from their Lot. Only windows should be opened to allow smoke to escape in non
dangerous situations;
(c) open the door to their Lot whilst having steam cleaning or dry cleaning of their
carpet undertaken;
(d) utilise fire hoses except in the case of an emergency.
(e) leave open the entry door to their Lot whilst having building works undertaken.
Note: In cases of negligence resulting in a False Alarm Call Out being made by the
Fire Brigade, the associated costs will be charged to the Member or Occupier
identified as being responsible.
