Hi Parents, is there a study abroad forum? I can’t find one, so I thought I’d post here to see if there is anybody experienced with fire safety in Spain.

Son just rented a flat in Valencia with 3 spanish students ( he is studying at the universitat politecnica valencia). He is on the 13th floor of a very large apartment complex. I asked him if there are smoke detectors, and he of course doesn’t know yet, but is assuming not “based on how lax things tend to be here…”

I can’t find anything on the internet regarding safety requirements in Spain, particularly a large building in a large urban city.

Does anyone know, or have any experience with, the fire safety regulations?

Thanks!!
