SUMMARY:Derby Shopping Centre Car Park Fire Sprinkler Activation
DESCRIPTION:Fire Rescue Service; Derby Fire & Rescue Service (DFRS)\nIncident; Fire\nWhen; 29 April 2023\nTime of call; 10:46\nTime of Stop; 12:45\nIncident closed 13:12\nWhere\, Derby\nOccupancy: Shopping Centre\nAutomatic fire suppression System; BS12845 Sprinkler System\n\nDFRS have reported the following incident involving a motor vehicle fire within a large\, enclosed shopping centre basement car park providing direct access to over 190 shops. \nThe Incident \n\nThree fire appliances were mobilised by DFRS mobilisation control.\nOn arrival\, operational crews identified that a motor vehicle had caught light.\nA team of 4 firefighters were committed wearing breathing apparatus\, identifying that the fire was contained within the engine compartment of the vehicle.\nAs the bonnet of the motor vehicle was opened\, the sprinkler system activated\nContaining and controlling  the fire to within the engine compartment of the motor vehicle.\nPreventing further fire spread to adjacent motor vehicles.\nThe fire was extinguished using one main jet/hose reel.\nDue to heavy smoke logging within the carpark a positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear the smoke.\nThe premises emergency plan was implemented resulting in the evacuation of the premises.\nNo injuries were reported.\nThe cause of the fire is currently under investigation.\n\n The outcome of this incident could have been so much different when compared to the Kings Dock Car Park Fire where sprinklers were not installed. \n\nThe severe open sided car park fire at the Liverpool Echo Arena on the 31 March 2017 destroyed a seven-story building and up to 1\,400 motor vehicles.\nResulting in Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service commencing investigations into the incident\nPublishing comprehensive report into the fire protection considerations surrounding the fire.\n\nIdentifying\, recommending  \n\nSprinklers are effective in both controlling a developing and fully developed fire.\nWithout sprinklers fire is likely to spread from car to car and dangerous levels of smoke are likely for long periods\nDesigners should seriously consider sprinkler provision to avoid multiple vehicle fires\, resulting in huge insurable losses and the possible loss of life.\nCurrent building regulations for car parks should be reviewed in light of this incident.\n\n \n  \nGovernment Concerns \n\nIn 2006\, Communities & Local Government (CLG) Sustainable Buildings Division commissioned the Building Research Establishment (BRE) to carry out\na 3-year project looking at the problems associated with fires in car parks.\nThe research provides valuable information for designers and other building professionals about the hazards and risks associated with modern motor cars.\nThis research has resulted in the publication of: ‘Fire Spread in Car Parks’ BD2552’ published in 2010 by CLG.\n\nOf particular interest\, the report highlighted the fact that the provision of a automatic fire sprinkler system can resist an outbreak of fire to the vehicle of origin-and this allow safe entry for firefighters to fully extinguish any remnants of a fire. \nImportance of Management \nIt should be remembered sprinklers control the size of the fire\, reduce the amount of smoke produced. Shopping centres are one of the most complex buildings that often include a variety of uses within the complex\, leisure areas\, hotels\, apartments\, cinemas\, and offices underground car parks \nTherefore\, require a high standard of management compared to other building uses reflected with the provision of complex control rooms in many cases. \nAllowing the officer in charge in the event of a fire to implement a comprehensive tactical plan interacting with the fixed fire installations\, using live CCTV footage. \nManagement is key ensuring the premises fire safety systems are operable in the event of a fire including sprinklers\, fire alarm system\, dry/wet risers\, smoke extraction units and fire curtains. \nTo highlight this\, London Fire Brigade published an open letter in 2020\, to those responsible for fire safety in shopping centres. Highlighting the importance of maintaining fire safety systems including the premises sprinkler system. \nFurther Guidance  \n\nBAFSA Sprinklers in Car Parks Information File 10a\nBAFSA Sprinkler Saves Review\nDFRS\nKings Dock Car Park Fire Report\nLFB Open Letter\nDerby Telegraph.co.uk\n\n
