SUMMARY:Halifax dwelling chip pan fire extinguished by building sprinkler system
DESCRIPTION:Image credit BAFSA chip pan demonstration\n\nWest Yorkshire Fire Rescue Service reported a kitchen fire occurring within a residential flat on the 13th floor of a 16-storey residential block.\nThe fire was successfully extinguished following the activation of the retrofitted sprinkler system.\nFirefighters evacuated the 13th floor due to smoke logging; a high-pressure fan was used to ventilate the area allowing the smoke to be dispersed.\nOne person with smoke inhalation was taken by Yorkshire Ambulance Service.\n\nThis incident once again\, debunks the myth\, residential sprinklers as an extinguishing media should not be used on chip pan fires \n\nIn England cooking fires are the most common type of accidental fire reported for the period 2013/2014 to 2022/2023 with over 1100 fires.\nWe still see reports from the Fire Rescue Service (FRS) that where the occupant is present at the time of a chip pan fire\, they have tried to extinguish the fire themselves by placing the oil pan under the tap in the kitchen sink or throw water on the pan causing the oil to explode causing serious injury allowing further fire to spread.\n\nSprinkler Saves UK have reported multiple incidents involving chip pan fires on each occasion the fire was extinguished\, contained\, or controlled. \n\nLincoln\, 7 August 2021\nTonypandy\, Rhondda\, 29 December 2021\nFlint 3 June 2021\nSouth Yorkshire 26 August 2022\nLondon 21 August 2023\nNewport July 2024\nStockport 26 July 2024\n\nSource \n\nWest Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service press release\nBAFSA Sprinkler Saves Review 2024/2025\nBAFSA Sprinkler Saves  Winter Newsletter update\nNFSN Winter newsletter\nBAFSA video demonstrating the benefits of sprinklers for chip pan fires\n\n
