Fire Brigade Call out

cashie88

Hey lads,

Just wondering,

If a tenant causes a fire over lets say a frying pan, and calls out a fire brigade, who is responsible for the fire brigade call out and damages to the persons body? The Tenant or the Landlord

Always thought fire brigade call out fee was if it was a hoax, but its not.

Cheers for yer opinions!

There is a callout fee from the fire service, even when the fire is real.

The resident would be responsible for the fee, since they caused the fire and called for the service.

Did the landlord beat the tenant with the burning frying pan? Was the landlord there? If not, why would (s)he even be involved? If I was the landlord I'd also expect the tenant to pay for any repairs and a replacement frying pan.

Tenant in this case.

If the fire was caused by a faulty appliance that the landlord didn't upkeep or faulty electrics etc then it would be left to the landlord.
