Why fire risk in Christchurch is what it is

Christchurch has one of the older age profiles in the country and a building stock to match — period, Georgian and Victorian alongside more modern development. That combination shapes the fire-safety priorities here: older construction where compartmentation has to be read carefully, and an occupant profile where escape time and reliable detection carry extra weight.
