SUMMARY:Scotland School Sprinkler Save
DESCRIPTION:Occupancy: Community campus which incorporates Crieff High School\nWhere: Crieff\, Scotland\nWhen; 21 February 2022\nFire Rescue Service; Scottish Fire Rescue Service (SFRS)\nTime of Call; 12:45\nAFSS; BS12845\, Commercial Sprinkler installation\n\nThe benefits of protecting educational buildings in Scotland with fire sprinklers clearly demonstrated once again\, in this case a community campus proving a range of sporting opportunities for both the children attending the campus and the wider community clearly demonstrated following this fire \nThe incident \n\nTwo fire pumping appliances from SFRS were mobilised to a fire following the activation of the premise sprinkler system.\nOn arrival operational crews identified the community campus (650 people) had been evacuated due to a fire within the ground floor toilet.\nNo further action was taken by operational crews as the fire had been extinguished before their arrival by the activation of one concealed sprinkler head.\nTotal property area damaged by fire 5m2\nMaterial ignited\, toilet paper/fixed plastic toilet roll dispenser\n\nBusiness Continuity  \nSchool fires have a devasting impact on both a school and a community\, every year many schools are damaged or destroyed by fires\, affecting the education of pupils across the country causing millions of pounds worth of damage. \nOn this occasion\, the impact of this school fire was minimal due to the decision at the design stage to install fire sprinklers throughout the school: – \n\nFire\, heat/smoke damage contained to the compartment of origin\nOther locations within the school were unaffected\nSchools’ continuity allowing pupils/students to return to normality far more efficiently with considerably less disruption\nThe campus was closed for only 2.5 hours\n\nThis incident clearly demonstrates the benefits of fire sprinklers in schools \n\nIn terms of life safety/property protection\nPreventing large fires\, protects the environment by avoiding C02 emissions\nReducing water supply contamination\nMaintain the school’s continuity allowing students to return to their classrooms in a matter of hours\nProtect students\, staff\, and firefighters\n\nArson  \n\nInterrogating the Sprinkler Saves UK database this is the fifth school sprinkler save reported in the space of 9 months.\n4 of the 5 incidents reported as malicious\nlocation of the fire:\n\nThree within a toilet\nOne within a changing room\n\n\n\nClearly identifying the importance of providing sprinkler protection within toilets/changing rooms  \n Legislation \n\nThe benefits of fire sprinklers being mandatory in Scotland clearly identified once again\, if this incident had taken place south of the border in England the outcome could have been so different\nFire sprinklers are only mandatory in new school buildings in Scotland and Wales but not in England and Northern Ireland.\nBuilding Bulletin 100 (Design document for new schools) is currently being reviewed in England\, highlighting that the sprinkler expectation will be removed.\nOur position is that that government explicitly maintains the sprinkler expectation in the revised BB100 publication so that fewer schools are damaged and destroyed by fire.\n\nThis image provided by Derbyshire Fire& Rescue Service clearly identifies the impact of a fire in a school where sprinklers are not installed \n \nLinks \n\nSprinkler Saves Website\, Derbyshire School Sprinkler Save 22 May 2022\nBAFSA: Sprinklers in Schools animation\nNFCC Sprinkler Tool Kit\n\nSource\, Our thanks to SFRS for  reporting the above mentioned incident
