Following a destructive fire in Glasgow, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is advising vape shop owners on safety measures and urging proper vape disposal.Summary
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a safety warning to vape shop owners and the public following a devastating fire in Glasgow that destroyed a Victorian building and disrupted train services. The fire, which began in a vape shop, prompted the service to remind businesses of their legal duty to maintain fire safety on their premises, as outlined in the Fire Service Regulation Order 2005. They offer fire safety audits and guidance to ensure compliance. Additionally, the public is urged to dispose of vapes at designated drop-off points, such as supermarkets and council sites, to prevent fires in waste management facilities, as over 6 million vapes are currently discarded in general waste weekly. The Recycle Your Electricals campaign highlights the fire risk posed by damaged batteries in discarded vapes.
