There is growing evidence that sprinklers are highly effective in controlling fires in these establishments. Uncontrolled fires in waste and recycling facilities are often prolonged\, extremely resource intensive for fire and rescue services and partner authorities. They are also commonly disruptive to local communities and to travel infrastructure.\n\n The Environment Agency (EA) Fire Prevention plans (FPP) \n\nDid you know that EA requires FPP to be submitted with all permit variations and new permit applications (at application stage) for sites that store combustible waste. The FPP needs to be approved by the EA before a permit is granted.\nA fire prevention plan (FPP) is a standalone management system that details the prevention measures and procedures as well as mitigation methods in place to protect against fire whilst carrying out day to day operations on a site.\nA requirement for the FPP is that\, if you store waste in a building \, you must install a fire suppression system. This system should be proportionate to the nature and scale of waste management activities completed and the associated risks.\n\n Since the launch of the sprinkler saves website 7 previous incidents have been reported \n\nFareham Solid recovered fuel facility\nBristol Recycling Centre Centre\nShropshire Recycling Centre\nLondon Recycling Centre\nEnfield Recycling facility \nRufforth Recycling facility\nManchester Waste Site/recycling facility\n\nLinks \n\nBAFSA\, Sprinkler Saves Annual Review 2021/2022\nBritish Automatic Fire Sprinkle Association\, Information file\, Fire Suppression Systems for the Waste Management Industry
