An HMO fire door is a certified door set, usually rated FD30S, that holds back fire and smoke for about 30 minutes when closed. In Bury, a town of around 60,000 people in Greater Manchester, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
