Fire risk assessment Portsmouth: what shapes the risk

Portsmouth is the only island city in the UK, built on Portsea Island, and the most densely populated city in the country outside London. That density is the whole story for fire safety here: tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces, a very high proportion of flat conversions and HMOs, and escape routes that share party walls with their neighbours.
