SUMMARY:London Solid Waste Transfer Station Activation
DESCRIPTION:Fire Rescue Service; London Fire Brigade (LFB)\nIncident; Recycling Plant Fire\nDate of Incident; 7 July 2023\nTime of call; 15:31\nWhere\, London\, Hillingdon\nUse of premises; Solid Waste Transfer Station\nAutomatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) Sprinklers\n\nLFB have reported the following incident. \n The premises \n\nSolid waste transfer station\nGround plus 2\, 1 below ground\nThe quantity of waste the site can receive:-\n208\,000 tonnes of solid waste and up to 40\,000 tonnes of civic amenity waste per annum\n\nThe Incident  \n\nThe fire involved a refuse store which caught light.\nActivating 2 sprinkler heads which contained\, controlled the fire to the room of origin\, prior to the arrival of LFB.\nFirefighting action\, hose reel high pressure jet (Augmented supply)\nThe cause of the fire is currently under investigation.\n\n The ¹ National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) have reported that UK Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) attend around 300 significant fires in waste sites each year which are often difficult to extinguish requiring multiple FRS resources for significant periods of time which can have a serious impact on the local community in the short or long term\, including: \n\nThe Environmental Impact\nPublic health impacts on responders and communities\nLarge scale financial loses and disruption.\nRoad closures\nHigh demand on FRS and other agency resources\n\nFRS are fully aware of the environmental impacts of fire publishing sustainability\, environmental reports with further guidance published by the government on environmental protection\, providing further guidance for FRS on preventing and dealing with incidents with the potential to pollute. \nActive fire protection systems\, specifically Automatic Fire Suppression Systems (AFSS) should be seen as part of a holistic approach minimising fire damage as part of a greener approach from the fire sector\, which is currently overlooked. \nHowever\, the above-mentioned incident identifies that AFSS do have a positive outcome for fires involving waste sites. \n\nSprinkler Saves Uk\, Annual Review 2022/23\nFire Sprinklers Greater London Review 2018-2021\nThink Sprinkler\, Think environment sustainability\n\nSource \n¹ NFCC.
