SUMMARY:Ilford Academy School Sprinkler Save
DESCRIPTION:Date of Incident; 24 November 2021\nTime of Incident; 12:51\nLocation; Ilford\nFire Rescue Service; London Fire Brigade\nOccupancy; Academy school of 3 floors\nLocation of fire; Changing room\nSprinkler System; BS12845\, water supply town mains booster pumps\n\n\nLFB have reported the above-mentioned incident involving the actuation of the Academy sprinkler system following a fire in a waste bin located in a changing room.\nOne concealed sprinkler head operated suppressing\, extinguishing the fire preventing the fire from spreading from the room of origin.\nThe sprinkler system was interfaced with the fire detection and fire alarm system allowing the alarm to be raised.\nTotal property area damaged by fire estimated to be under 5 square meters\, the cause of the fire is under investigation.\n\nThis incident clearly identifies the benefits of sprinklers in schools\, It is ¹reported  in the last 5 years school fires have: – \n\nDestroyed the equivalent of 1\,100 classrooms\nDestroyed 47 Primary /secondary school buildings following 2\,300 incidents\nMore than 74\,000 square metres\, an area equivalent to 10 football pitches of teaching facilities have been damaged by fire in this time\nIn the period from April 2015- April 2020\, 1\,467 primary schools and 834 secondary schools’ fires were reported\n\nThese figures clearly highlight that the installation of sprinklers should be made compulsory in England following the lead of Wales\, Scotland. \nGavin Tomlinson\, Sprinkler Lead\, National Fire Chiefs Council\, said: “The case for sprinklers in schools is extremely compelling. The disruptive effect these fires have on whole communities is stark and the cost of the fire is felt well beyond rebuild costs. The impact can be devastating and\, in the year where education has been so severely disrupted\, school fires put huge additional pressure on the education service and parents. \n“Schools are important community assets which need to be protected and we know that sprinklers are both highly reliable and effective. When sprinklers operate\, they will control or extinguish a fire in 99% of cases. \n“The NFCC will continue to call for the mandatory fitting of sprinkler systems in all new and refurbished schools in England.” \nLinks \nBAFSA Year book 2021/2022; Further reading highlighting the impact of “Fires In schools” can be found in the article drafted by Ritchie O’Connell \nBAFSA Year book 2021/2022; Further information “Pushing the government on the use of sprinklers” can be found in the article drafted by Gavin Tomlinson\, National Fire Chiefs Council \nZurich; Press release fires in schools \n¹Source; Zurich press release 8 March 2021\, Chris Johnson\, Zurich UK Media relations \n
