In shopping centres\, it is common practice to protect the commercial unit/shop with sprinklers to control the fire size. Sprinklers are not installed in the malls to prevent overcooling of the smoke\, and the risk of wet slippery surfaces on escape routes. \nShopping centres are one of the most complex buildings that often include a variety of uses within the complex\, leisure areas\, hotels\, apartments\, cinemas\, and offices. Therefore\, require a high standard of management compared to other building uses. \nManagement is key ensuring the premises fire safety systems are operable in the event of a fire including sprinklers\, fire alarm system\, dry/wet risers\, smoke extraction units and fire curtains. \nTo highlight this\, London Fire Brigade published an open letter in 2020\, to those responsible for fire safety in shopping centres.
