Integrating Fire Safety into the EU’s Energy and Housing Policies: A Call to Action
Fire Safe Europe recently written to Commissioner-designate Dan Jørgensen, alongside the European Fire Safety Alliance and the Forum for European Electrical Domestic Safety, urging him to make fire safety a key focus in the EU’s energy and housing policies. As Europe advances toward its climate goals, ensuring that our buildings are both sustainable and fire safe is critical.
The growing use of EV charging stations, solar panels, and battery storage systems enhances energy efficiency, but also introduces new fire risks that cannot be ignored. Furthermore, housing renovations must incorporate strong fire safety measures to protect people and assets.
That's why, we are advocating for the adoption of a European Fire Safety Strategy - one that ensures energy-efficient buildings are also safe homes.
