The fire authority sends these objections but doesn't tell you how to resolve them? Is it not their responsibility to tell us exactly what we need to ammend in detail to resolve this issue?

• The internal stairway discharges into the ground floor commercial area and the travel distances are excessive. The escape route would quickly become impassable in the event of fire originating in the basement, ground or first floor • The structure between the basement, ground and upper floors provides insufficient fire and smoke protection. This would allow heat and smoke from fire to pass from the basement to the floors above • The external fire exit does not have sufficient fire resisting construction from a fire originating in the building. Would anyone be able to help us suggest ideas on how we can prevent the above for our shop. We use to have the shop as off liscence and never faced these problems before but after converting our shop to hot food(fish and chips) we were hit with these objections. Any help would be great.
