SUMMARY:Manchester Waste Site Collection and Recycling Centre
DESCRIPTION:On the 7th May 2021 at 13:02 hours\, 3 pumping appliances from Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service (GMFRS)were mobilised to a fire at the Biffa Waste Services Ltd waste collection and recycling centre on the Northbank Industrial Estate\, Irlam \nOn their arrival it was established that a dry pipe sprinkler system had operated in the warehouse loading bay activating 20 heads\, suppressing the fire located in the warehouse loading bay before the arrival of operational crews. \nHaving this type of automatic fire suppression system installed brings with it a number of benefits for your business:\n1.They’re fast-acting\, suppressing the fire\, keeping the fire under control before major damage is caused to buildings and equipment.\n2.Minimises financial losses incurred from having to replace damaged goods\, plant and machinery\n3.Reduces the time you need to close following the fires \nOn this occasion\, business interruption minimised to 3 hours\, reducing potential losses of £40\,000-£50\,000 to £3\,000. The cause of the fire\, lithium battery igniting waste\, affecting approximately 5\,000m2. \nUK fire and rescue services attend around 300 significant fires in waste sites each year. Fires in waste sites are often difficult to extinguish\, needing a lot of resources for long periods\, and can have serious effects on public health\, the environment\, safety to firefighters and local communities. \nKris Egerton\, Operations Supervisor at Biffa\, said: “We are grateful that the timely action of the sprinkler system helped stop the spread of the fire that broke out at our site in Gilchrist Road and enabled firefighters to bring it under control quickly. As a result\, we were able to minimise damage and resume operations swiftly. The sprinkler system adds an extra layer of protection\, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring our people and the public are safe.” \nGMFRS have uploaded to You Tube digital content featuring the manager of the Biffa waste recycling manager sharing their experiences and knowledge to encourage others to consider having sprinklers installed. Debunking the myths surrounding sprinklers. \n

SUMMARY:Sprinkler Save\, Southend On Sea Flat Fire
DESCRIPTION:Photograph speaks a thousand words\, the benefits of sprinklers can clearly be seen in this hostel fire. One side wall sprinkler head activated suppressing/extinguishing the fire prior to Essex fire & rescue service attending this residential incident. \nThe sprinklers were installed as part of Essex fire & rescue Service match funding programme* \nTime of incident 10:17  and was limited to the room of origin\, without the residential sprinkler system the outcome could off been so much different for the resident. \n* Essex  Fire and Rescue Service have been leading from the front contributing funding for the installation of sprinkler systems throughout seven housing estates in Basildon. \nSince 2013\, the fire service has part-funded and supported the retrofitting of sprinklers in a number of high risk premises in Essex. \nThe latest match-funding project has been agreed for sprinklers to be installed at all properties in the seven housing estates in the Felmores area of Basildon. \nBasildon Council have been awarded £70\,000 from the fire service’s sprinkler fund to match-fund their projects.

SUMMARY:Business premises\, East Sussex
DESCRIPTION:East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has praised a business in Hastings for installing the sprinklers system\, which stopped a small fire quickly spreading throughout the building. \nUpon arrival\, crews found a small fire located in the fan unit\, which had been quickly extinguished by the sprinkler system. \nAndrew Gausden\, Business Safety Manager said: “This is a timely reminder to other companies to invest in a sprinkler system which could protect your business from severe fire damage.A sprinkler system really can make a difference\, in 2019 we attended a similar fire locally which resulted in the total loss of a business – sprinklers would have made the difference. \n“Sprinkler systems are designed to contain a fire ensuring businesses are often up and running within a short period of time due to limited damage.”

SUMMARY:Sheltered housing\, London
DESCRIPTION:On 21st July a call was received by BAFSA member Triangle advising the company of a fire in a flat on the 4th floor at 1-133 Garnet Road\, Thornton Heath. The call was a result of the sprinkler alarm signalling the call centre. \nThis is sheltered housing and Triangle had retrospectively installed a BS9251 sprinkler system supplied by a tank and pump which was commissioned in December 2019. \nLondon Fire Brigade attended and forced entry to learn the fire had been extinguished by the activation of one sprinkler head. \nIt appears the resident was using a bedroom as a prayer room and had left the property leaving a lot of incense candles burning\, it is assumed that these were the source of ignition but it is unclear what the item first ignited was. \nTriangle engineer attended site and the sprinkler head was reinstated and the system made live by 1700 hrs. \nBAFSA notes that a second sprinkler head in the hallway had got hot enough for the cover plate to drop off but not to activate the head… a perfect example of how accurate sprinklers are. They really do not go off all at once!

SUMMARY:Flat\, Southampton
DESCRIPTION:Afire broke out in the kitchen in a high-rise block owned by Southampton City Council on 3rd July. It was successfully suppressed by the sprinkler system with minimal damage. The Fire & Rescue Service attended with multiple units but had little to do but check that the fire was fully extinguished. \nWithout the sprinkler activation the fire would have engulfed the whole flat before the Fire & Rescue Service arrived on the scene. \nThe flat\, along with the others in the block\, and all other blocks in the city\, has benefitted from a range of fire safety works in addition to the sprinkler system. Southampton City Council take resident safety seriously and the 3 high-rise fires over the last 12 months effectively controlled by the sprinkler system and other fire safety measures are a testament to this.

SUMMARY:Flat\, London
DESCRIPTION:On 12 March \, LFB crews were called to a rapidly developing fire on the sixth floor external balcony of Tweed Walk Tower Hamlets – a twelve storey apartment block.\nThe fire spread horizontally along the balcony from the seat of the fire affecting the balcony of the adjacent dwelling. Due to the intensity of the fire the patio doors/glazing located adjacent to the seat of the fire failed.\nThe prompt activation of the Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS)restricted the fire damage to the glazing units/frames with smoke logging confined to the ceiling level of the apartment . The external fire was extinguished using a ground monitor and jets.\nOver recent years the LFB Fire Investigation Team have attended a large number of incidents where fires have occurred on balconies. The cause of those fires has often been due to unsafe disposal of cigarettes by the resident which is the case for the above mentioned incident.\nWithout AFSS the outcome of this incident may well have been more serious with the potential for a full compartment fire which would have seriously compromised the safety of residents and firefighters. Personal contents in the apartments were virtually untouched by the fire\, and no fire related injuries were reported.

SUMMARY:Flat\, London
DESCRIPTION:On the 8th March\, crews were called to a 5 pump fire on the 25th floor of a 4 roomed flat of a 39 storey high rise residential block in Southwark Bridge Road. \nThe alarm was raised by the occupier to a kitchen fire\, one sprinkler head activated and extinguished the fire prior to the arrivals of crews. \nWithout AFSS the outcome of this incident may well have been more serious with the potential for a full compartment fire which would have seriously compromised the safety of residents and firefighters. no fire related injuries were reported. \nOn this occasion due to the height/design of the building a BS EN 12845 system was installed allowing extra resilience to be provided for the installation\, it should be noted a BS9251 :2014 system is installed for buildings up to 45m in height unless agreed with Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
