Richard,
You might start with condition 6 (legitimate interests of the data controller (or 3rd party) without unjustified prejudice to the rights of the individual.
I would not see how this would be an unjustifiable prejudice to the data subject.
Best,
Lawrence

Subject: [data-protection] Fire Service Question.
If our NHS health staff see a fire risk in the patient home can we share with the fire service without consent? Is there some fire related legislation I can rely on or is there an opinion that this is to prevent harm and in the vital interest of the patient (However there may never be a fire in the home but just a risk of one).
At the moment we ask consent but often the elderly don't want anyone else in their homes but there may be a fire risk that is evident to our staff.
