Why fire risk in Dorchester is what it is

Dorchester is the county town of Dorset and the seat of Dorset Council, which makes it a concentrated commercial and civic centre — offices, retail and public buildings — surrounded by residential. As the county town, Dorchester is heavy with offices, retail and civic premises — all needing a fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order, assessed to PAS 79-1:2020, with older stock handled on its own terms. Landlords letting shared homes hold the duty for the common parts, assessed to BS 9792:2025 and LACORS.
