HMOs - 34.8% of all fire deaths and 39.2% of all fire injuries occur in HMOs:

It is estimated that residential fire sprinklers could save over 200 lives and prevent at least 5,000 fire related injuries each year in HMOs. That would save £millions in damages. 

This shameful state of affairs can be resolved by those that have the power to take action and install sprinklers into this high risk category of housing. 

HMOs house a high proportion of 'disadvantaged' or 'hard to influence' people who are unlikely to listen to fire safety messages.  For less than the cost of the carpets, these people can have their lives and property protected with automatic fire sprinkler systems.
