SUMMARY:Lithium-Ion E Bike Battery Sprinkler Save London
DESCRIPTION:Date of incident; 21/11/21\nTime of call; 05:07\nLocation; Lanterns Way\, Isle of Dogs\, London\nOccupancy; High rise residential flats of 21 floors\nFire involving a Lithium-Ion battery\n\nLondon Fire Brigade have reported the above-mentioned fire which was extinguished by the activation of three sprinkler heads before the arrival of the LFB. The fire was contained within the five roomed flat on the 3rd floor of the building\, LFB’s fire investigation team believe the fire was accidental and caused a fault in a lithium-ion battery for an Ebike that was on charge. \nThis is the second sprinkler save reported involving a lithium-ion battery following the Stockport fire sprinkler save reported by Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service in July on this occasion involving a mobile phone. On both occasions the sprinkler system extinguished the fire before the arrival of the Fire & Rescue Service \nThe dangers of Lithium-Ion battery fires should not be underestimated which can develop into significant and unstoppable thermal runaway fires. It should be noted at present that sprinkler protection of lithium-ion batteries is outside the scope of current standard sprinkler design standards e.g.\, EN\, NFPA/FM\, specialist standards are being developed for example NPFA 855. \nOnce again\, this incident demonstrates the benefits of installing a residential sprinkler system. \nFurther guidance on Lithium-Ion battery fires can be found in the Fire Industry Association guidance note on Lithium-ion battery fires \nLinks \n\nBritish Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association\, November Sprinkler Focus publication available to download now   (Sprinkler FOCUS is the biannual magazine of the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association. It is the only UK publication which has automatic fire sprinklers at its core with current news\, features and opinions along with case studies and product updates)\nLondon Fire Brigade\nStockport Lithium-Ion battery fire\nFire Industry Association guidance note on Lithium-ion battery fires\n\nIf you hear of a save report \, it makes a difference

SUMMARY:Isle of Dogs High Rise Flat Sprinkler Save
DESCRIPTION:On the 17 August\, 14:03 pm\, London Fire Brigade (LFB) were called to a high rise residential flat fire on the 37th floor on Marsh Wall in the Isle of Dogs. \nTwo  residential sprinkler heads  operated containing the fire and limiting its impact with fire damage limited to a small part of the flat. Operational crews were able to identify and locate the sprinkler isolation valve minimising water egress\, a key aspect of business continuity where automatic suppression systems are installed. \nFire crews from Poplar\, Shadwell\, Bethnal Green and Plaistow attended the incident. The fire was under control by 14:37pm. \nThe cause of the fire is believed to be unattended candle \nTower Hamlets Borough Commander Richard Tapp said: \n“The sprinkler suppression system made a big difference in containing the fire and limiting its impact. \n“A number of people evacuated from the fire floor before firefighters arrived. Other residents remained in their unaffected flats. The firefighters that attended worked quickly and the vast majority of residents were back inside their flats within an hour of the first call. \n“Sprinklers are the only fire safety system that detects a fire\, suppresses a fire and raises the alarm. \n“They save lives and protect property and they are especially important where there are vulnerable residents who would find it difficult to escape\, like those with mobility problems.” \nNew Providence Wharf fire \nIt should be noted that on May 7th\, LFB attended a high rise residential fire at New Providence Wharf which started in a consumer unit in an 8th floor flat. Residential sprinklers were not fitted. \nThe fire proceeded to travel out of an open balcony window. At the same time smoke poured into the corridor through a flat door that had accidentally been kept open \nWould the outcome of been different if sprinklers had been fitted suppressing the fire before the arrival of the fire service? \nA report has been released by the LFB identifying a  serious failure of a smoke ventilation system that resulted in the building acting like a “broken chimney”  left residents’ only escape route smoke logged. \nClick here to view
