A fire which started in the bin storage area of a block of flats in Lye in the West Midlands broke out on Monday 28th February.
Four adults and five children required medical attention at the scene, and several were later transported to hospital for further treatment.
Firefighters from Brierley Hill and Stourbridge fire stations tackled the blaze for about 30 minutes.
It is a legal requirement that a fire risk assessment be carried out in all communal areas of a house of multiple occupation. If landlords fail to adhere to these laws they can be prosecuted, fined and even sent to prison.
