SUMMARY:Havant Tall Building Fire Extinguished By Sidewall Sprinkler Head
DESCRIPTION:Credit image Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service \n\nDate of incident; 19 February 2024.\nTine of call; 19:30.\nLocation; Havant.\nUse of building; Purpose Built Flats/Maisonettes – 10 or more storeys.\nLocation of fire; Kitchen.\nAutomatic Fire Suppression System; Sprinklers.\nFire Rescue Service; Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service.\n\nHampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service reported the above-mentioned incident\, identifying the benefits of retrofitting fire sprinkler systems within high rise residential block. \nRob Cole\, Head of operations at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire:- “The incredible impact of sprinklers was again demonstrated in the tackling of this fire. The system kept the fire itself under control and prevented it spreading while enabling our crews to tackle the fire quickly and safely. Having sprinklers installed is like having a firefighter in every room. No residents needed to be evacuated and the stay put policy worked as it should.” Rob Cole\, Head of Operations at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service\, commenting on one incident at a tower block in Southampton. (Source: Southampton City Council website) \nThe Incident \n\nFire crews from local stations were mobilised to reports of a sprinkler alarm actuating within a residential high-rise block.\nOn arrival the officer in charge (OIC) established that a fire had broken out within a third floor flat.\nThe activation of the sprinkler system  provided time for the OIC to complete a dynamic risk assessment to extinguish the fire.\nOperational crews wearing Breathing Apparatus were committed as part of a 2-line attack.\nUpon entry to the flat it was identified that the fire had been extinguished within the Kitchen following the activation of 1 sidewall sprinkler head.\nThe cause of the fire was established to involve a cooking appliance.\nAt the time of the fire the kitchen door was closed which contained the fire to the room of origin\, limiting further fire damage\, Identifying the benefits of passive fire safety measures\nProviding effective fire protection requires both passive and active elements working in unison and complementing the roles of one another. The use of a combined approach allowing the occupants of exiting the building safely/damage to the property is minimized.\nThe sprinkler system was isolated by the FRS following a review of the dynamic risk assessment.\n\n \nCredit image Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service \nThis incident once again identifies the benefits of sprinklers playing a significant role\, as part of an appropriate package of fire safety measures reducing the impact of fire on people\, property\, and the environment \n\nThe alarm was raised allowing the Fire Rescue Service (FRS) to be mobilised.\nOn arrival of the FRS no further fire fighting was required as the fire had been extinguished by the sprinkler system.\nConditions for flashover diminished in room of origin.\nAdditional time allowing the OIC to complete a dynamic risk assessment to implement an operational tactical plan.\nThe fire did not spread to the common ways compromising the means of escape.\nRisk to firefighters reduced.\n\nEmergency Plan \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\, availability of emergency response information for the FRS\, onsite representatives to interact with the premises active fire safety systems where present such as sprinklers and other forms of Automatic Fire Suppression Systems. (AFSS) \nThe outcome of which will allow a robust onsite emergency response to be immediately actioned to assist in the management of water from the activation of the sprinkler system following a fire or even following the unlikely likelihood of un-intentional release of water. Of course\, water will be in the vicinity of the seat of the fire at the conclusion of the incident the extinguishing medium of sprinklers as we know is water. Following the completion of a dynamic risk assessment the sprinkler water supply was isolated by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service. \nAFSS play a significant role\, as part of an appropriate package of fire safety measures reducing the impact of fire on people\, property\, and the environment.. \nLinks/sources/further information \n\nSprinkler review 2022/2023\nHampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service\, press release\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/sprinkler companies to promote\, collate\, report sprinkler activations to Sprinkler Saves UK 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

SUMMARY:Flat\, Southampton
DESCRIPTION:Afire broke out in the kitchen in a high-rise block owned by Southampton City Council on 3rd July. It was successfully suppressed by the sprinkler system with minimal damage. The Fire & Rescue Service attended with multiple units but had little to do but check that the fire was fully extinguished. \nWithout the sprinkler activation the fire would have engulfed the whole flat before the Fire & Rescue Service arrived on the scene. \nThe flat\, along with the others in the block\, and all other blocks in the city\, has benefitted from a range of fire safety works in addition to the sprinkler system. Southampton City Council take resident safety seriously and the 3 high-rise fires over the last 12 months effectively controlled by the sprinkler system and other fire safety measures are a testament to this.
