Dorset is world-famous for its Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its dramatic coastline attracts millions of visitors each year. Holiday lets, coastal flats, and guest houses are abundant, particularly in towns like Lyme Regis, Weymouth, and Swanage. These properties often have high seasonal occupancy, guests unfamiliar with the building, and, in some cases, limited fire service access. Specialist assessment of means of escape, fire detection, and guest information is essential.

The county’s historic towns, such as Dorchester (Thomas Hardy’s birthplace), Sherborne, and Shaftesbury, contain many listed buildings. Fire safety measures must be carefully designed to protect heritage fabric while ensuring adequate protection for occupants. The use of wireless fire detection systems and discreet extinguishers is often preferred.

Poole Harbour and the ports of Weymouth and Poole support a significant maritime industry, including commercial fishing, ferry terminals, and leisure boating.
