Composite Fencing Safety
Due to their attractive appearance and low maintenance requirements, composite fencing materials are increasingly being used in both domestic and commercial settings. Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) has attended several serious fires involving this type of product. By contrast to more traditional fencing materials, the resultant fires have been observed to spread more rapidly, generate taller flames, produce more heat, and evolve higher volumes of thick acrid smoke, causing very significant property damage and life risk.
