Is a fire extinguisher enough? Is a fire blanket mandatory? Is there a correct height for safety signage?<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In practice, Portuguese legislation requires short term rentals to have basic fire safety equipment, especially in higher-risk areas such as kitchens and circulation zones.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The best-known item is naturally the fire extinguisher.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Most Portuguese short term rentals use a 6 kg ABC fire extinguisher, suitable for electrical fires, domestic appliances, kitchens and common solid materials found in residential accommodation.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">However, one of the most common mistakes is purchasing the equipment simply to \u201ctick the box\u201d and then hiding it inside cupboards or behind doors.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In an emergency, seconds matter.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The extinguisher should always remain easily accessible, visible and installed in a strategic area of the property, usually:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>near the entrance<\/li><li>in the main hallway<\/li><li>or close to the kitchen.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Installation should also follow good fire safety practices. The top of the extinguisher should generally not exceed approximately 1.20 m from the floor, allowing fast and intuitive access.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Photoluminescent safety signage should be installed above the extinguisher, usually positioned between 2 m and 2.5 m in height. This allows guests to quickly identify the equipment even during power failures or smoke situations.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Another mandatory item is the fire blanket.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Although often forgotten, it is extremely important in kitchens, especially for small fires involving cooking oil or stovetops.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The blanket should be positioned close to the kitchen area, but never directly above the heat source. The objective is to ensure that guests can safely access the equipment without approaching the fire itself.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A first aid kit and visible display of the national emergency number 112 are also mandatory.<\/p><p>While smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors may not always be legally required in smaller properties, they are now strongly recommended. Besides significantly improving guest safety, they are highly valued by insurance companies and may become extremely important in liability situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1478e9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1478e9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 data-start=\"2783\" data-end=\"2832\">Mandatory AL plaque and safety signage<\/h4><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Many property owners believe that simply displaying the registration number somewhere near the entrance is enough. However, Portuguese legislation requires an official \u201cAL\u201d plaque to be visibly installed outside the property.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The plaque must be positioned near the main entrance and follow the legally approved format.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In addition, there are several mandatory or strongly recommended notices and signs:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>complaints book information<\/li><li>emergency contacts<\/li><li>house rules<\/li><li>important guest information<\/li><\/ul><p>In practice, proper signage does not only serve legal compliance purposes.
