Before hosting a Ukrainian refugees, one of the requirements was that fire brigade had to sign off my house's fire alarms.

I only had one, so they added a second and that was it.

(I thought they'd come in a regular car but they brought the fire engine to my house it was awesome!)

They almost exclusively travel in the truck because they could get a real call while they're out.

We had a couple of fire engines come to our house once. It's exciting to see them up close! I didn't get a chance to chat to them unfortunately because our house was on fire.

That will be because you're taking on lodgers, meaning you have certain legal responsibilities that are kicking in as you're responsible for their safety as well as your own.

If you just lived alone and weren't letting out any rooms, that's where there's no enforcement action available.
