A picture is worth a thousand words, this image was captured following a fire within an independent living complex which was successfully extinguished by the activation of one sprinkler head within a flat. The fire was caused by a candle which fell on to a settee, the elderly resident was asleep in the armchair who was alerted by the activation which prevented a fire related death or serious injury.
This incident clearly identifies the benefits of residential sprinklers for life safety playing a significant role, as part of an appropriate package of fire safety measures reducing the impact of fire on people, property, and the environment.
Providing effective fire protection requires both passive and active elements working in unison and complementing the roles of one another.
Working in the sprinkler/fire sector, we need your assistance……
Hats off to RSP Fire Sprinkler Systems reporting the above-mentioned incident.
