SUMMARY:Nottingham Tall Building Sprinkler Activation
DESCRIPTION:Credit Image Nottinghamshire Fire& Rescue Service (NFRS) \nThe image kindly provided by NFRS provides further evidence that the operation of a correctly designed and installed sprinkler system reduces the rate of production of heat and smoke\, allowing more time for the occupants to escape to safety or be rescued. \n\nDate of incident; 30 March 2024.\nTine of call; 21:30.\nTime of stop; 02;00.\nLocation; Nottingham.\nUse of building; Purpose built block of flats 10 floors and above.\nIncident; fire.\nLocation of fire; Hallway.\nAutomatic Fire Suppression System; Sprinklers.\nFire Rescue Service; Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. (NFRS\n\nBackground \nNottingham City Council should be applauded for their decision to implement an £8.4 million programme protecting their tenants from fire by installing fire sprinklers into their 13 high rise residential block as part of a package of long-standing fire safety measures. Following the tragic events of the Grenfell fire\, Nottingham City Homes\, which manages the Council’s social housing\, conducted a review of fire safety in conjunction with NFRS. Where it was recommended that fire sprinklers should be fitted in all high-rise common ways and dwellings. \n This decision was clearly justified following a small fire within a flat which was successfully extinguished by the premises sprinkler system with no injuries reported \nThe Incident \n\nFire crews were mobilised to reports of an automatic fire alarm sounding within a 22-storey residential block of flats.\nEn-route the incident was upgraded to a fire call\, persons reported.\nFollowing the completion of a dynamic risk assessment\, key tasks by the officer in charge (OIC) on arrival\, it was established that the building was fitted with a residential sprinkler system with the fire located on the16th floor within a dwelling.\nThe benefit of the sprinkler system allowed extra time for the OIC to implement a robust operational tactical plan for the incident.\n4-team breathing apparatus team was committed from the bridgehead to locate the resident\, extinguish the fire.\nUpon entry to the flat it was established that a fire within a room had been contained\, controlled by the activation of 1 sprinkler head located within the hallway.\nNo rapid-fire growth reported\, the fire was extinguished using 1 jet.\nThe resident self-evacuated their flat prior to the arrival of NFRS with no injuries reported.\nEnquires are ongoing to establish the cause of the fire.\nPremises Emergency Plan \n\nIt was reported following the incident that flats were affected by water\, it should be remembered that a robust emergency plan will allow the provision of vital information for the Fire Rescue Service to be shared by onsite representatives.\nClarifying the location and provision of key elements of the active fire safety systems where present such as sprinklers and other forms of AFSS.\nAllowing  a robust onsite emergency response to be actioned to assist with the control of the sprinkler system at the conclusion of the fire incident  including consideration to  the reinstatement of the system.\n\nPremises Sprinkler System \n\nBS9251:2014 Category 3 system\nCoverage: flats\, common ways\, refuse chute room/bin store\n\nLinks/sources \n\nSprinkler Saves Review 2022/2023\nSprinkler Saves Spring Update No 4\nFire Protection Association Press Release.\nMy Nottingham News\nNottinghamshire  Fire and Rescue Service AFSS Position Statement\nWesthampsted Square AFSS Activation Case Study\n\nIf you want to make a difference working in the fire sector\, we need your assistance…… \nTo make sprinklers the norm and not the exception – we need the evidence. Encouraging FRS and those in the sprinkler community to promote\, collate\, report sprinkler activations to Sprinkler Saves UK which will help to create a central and comprehensive record of fire incidents where sprinklers played their role in containing/controlling or extinguishing the fire. \nIf you hear of a save report it using this link. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Nottingham School Fire Sprinkler Activation
DESCRIPTION:Fire Rescue Service; Nottingham Fire & Rescue Service (NFRS)\nIncident; Fire\nWhen; 17 March 2023\nTime of call; 14:00\nWhere: Sneinton\, Nottinghamshire\nOccupancy: School\, academy\n\nNFRS have reported the following Nottingham Academy fire resulting in the school commercial sprinkler system activating that clearly identifies the benefits of installing fire suppression systems for schools. \nNottingham Academy is a large academy built on two campuses with a capacity of 3750 pupils\, it is one of only a handful of schools in the country with its own nursery\, primary\, Secondary and Sixth form provision. \nThe Incident \n\nFire crews were mobilised from Carlton\, London Road and Stockhill Fire stations.\nOn arrival\, operational crews identified that a small fire in the nursery office was contained and extinguished by the school’s sprinkler system.\nNo injuries were reported.\nThe cause of the fire is currently under investigation.\n\nWatch Manager Wiggan said: “There was only slight fire damage to the room of origin at the school due to them having the correct sprinkler system in place. Without this\, the fire could have spread rapidly and put the school at risk.” \nThey tell a story…………. \nThe reporting of sprinkler saves tell a story bringing the incident to life\, this incident clearly demonstrates the benefits of sprinklers for both life and property protection. \nSchool fires have a devasting impact on both a school and a community\, every year many schools are damaged or destroyed by fires\, affecting the education of pupils across the country causing millions of pounds worth of damage. \nOn this occasion\, the impact of this school fire was minimal due to the decision at the design stage to install fire sprinklers throughout the school: – \n\nFire\, heat/smoke damage contained to the compartment of origin.\nOther locations within the school were unaffected.\nSchools’ continuity allowing pupils/students to return to normality far more efficiently with considerably less disruption.\n\nWhen you compare this to a recent school fire in Yatton Bristol on the 29 May 2023 where sprinklers were not fitted\, the outcome on this occasion was that the school was destroyed by the fire. \nThe image speaks a thousand words……… \n \nImage credit Avon Fire & rescue Service \nLegislation\, did you know it is mandatory for all new schools in Scotland & centrally funded schools in Wales to be fitted with sprinklers. This is not the case for England\, current guidance when first released in 2007\, acknowledged the important role of sprinklers and stated that “all new schools should have fire sprinklers installed except in a few low-risk schools”. \nUnfortunately\, it is possible for designers and developers to circumvent the installation of sprinklers but still improve areas by using other building design guidance. The outcome is new- built schools without fire sprinklers being installed. \nDid you know 219 primary and secondary schools were damaged by fire in 2021/22 in England which is an 35% increase from 2020/21. \nFurther Guidance  \n\nBAFSA:- Sprinklers in Schools Animation\nBAFSA:- Sprinkler saves review 2021/2022\nNFCC Sprinkler tool kit 2023\nNFCC sprinklers in schools position statement\nNFRS press release\nBristol Live\, fire destroys primary school
