The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has announced that, from Tuesday, firefighters will no longer attend automatic alarms in most non-residential buildings - unless they are told a fire is definitely happening.
The change - which will affect properties like office blocks and industrial estates - is being brought in to save the fire service valuable time, as the LFB says that less than one per cent of automatic alarms are triggered by genuine fires.
