The owners of a nail salon in York being given suspended prison sentences for failing to rectify fire safety failings; a Wolverhampton pub landlord sent to prison for flouting fire safety legislation and a Hounslow landlady receiving £200,000 in fines and costs following a fatal fire at one of her properties.
