Dear FOI Officer,

I meant 'high-risk', as per the definition given within Section 2 - Scope of the report "Building a Safer Future: response of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service" https://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/media/...

"High-risk buildings extend to prisons, hospitals, residential care homes and all forms
of specialised housing."

Yours sincerely,

Katy Preen

FOI Officer, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service

Dear Katy,
 
Thank you for your clarification we will respond to your request by 30th
March 2020.
 
Kindest Regards,
