SUMMARY:Retrofitted sprinkler system extinguishes fire in West Midlands residential tall building
DESCRIPTION:Image credit Wolverhampton Homes living room seat of the fire\n‘The safety of residents is our top priority. We are working with customers and partners such as West Midlands Fire Service\, to ensure that residents are safe from fire at all times. Installing sprinklers in our tower blocks has proven to not only to save lives\, but also minimises damage to the flat and protects firefighters in tackling what could have been a large blaze.’\nNick Lacey\, Building Safety Manager at Wolverhampton Homes\nBackground \nWolverhampton Homes reported this fire and reiterated its commitment to installing sprinklers\, enabling this positive news story to reach a broader audience. By clearly demonstrating the advantages of sprinkler systems in residential fires\, this outcome will entice other stakeholders and housing providers to follow is lead and install sprinklers\, thereby enhancing fire protection for our communities. \nFollowing the tragic fire at Grenfell tower\, the City of Wolverhampton Council took the decision as part of their high-rise infrastructure programme to include the retrofitting of sprinklers in all 36 high-rise tower blocks\, with all but one managed by Wolverhampton Homes. They were built between 1960 and 1973 to provide large numbers of social housing on tight footprints. \nIn the autumn of 2025\, West Midlands Fire Rescue Service (WMFRS) responded to a fire in a high-rise purpose-built block of flats. The buildings sprinkler system activated\, thereby containing\, controlling and extinguishing a small living room fire. No injuries were reported. \nDemonstrating the effectiveness of sprinklers in controlling fires at an early stage\, significantly reducing the risk to life\, limiting fire spread and minimising property damage\, preventing the fire from spreading further preventing flash over allowing a positive outcome. \nIf it was not for the decision by the City of Wolverhampton Council to retrofit sprinklers in their high-rise property portfolio\, the outcome of this incident could have been so different. \nA sprinkler activation is categorised as an event where one or more sprinkler heads have activated and contained\, controlled\, or\, in some cases\, extinguished a building fire. This incident provides further evidence of the effectiveness\, benefits of sprinklers as part of a comprehensive fire safety strategy. \nProviding further weight to the reliability and effectiveness of sprinkler systems following the report conducted by 1Optimal Economics and commissioned by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC)\, National Fire Sprinkler Network into the performance\, reliability\, and effectiveness of sprinkler systems in controlling and extinguishing fires. \nThe Incident \nA fire that started in the living room of a one-bedroom unit within a 16-story residential purpose-built block of flats was caused by discarded smoking materials. The blaze was effectively contained\, controlled\, and extinguished in its original location by the activation of a single sidewall sprinkler head before WMFRS arrived. However\, because the internal doors were left open\, smoke spread throughout the flat. \nThe images identify that the resident maintained poor housekeeping\, with significant disorganisation and clutter throughout the living space with smoking paraphernalia on display. The NFCC report smoking is one of the top causes of accidental dwelling fires in the Uk. Nationally\, it remains the top cause of accidental fire deaths. In the event of a fire\, these conditions could have accelerated its spread\, compromising the means of escape from the flat to a place of safety. \nFortunately\, in this instance\, the sprinkler system was present\, activated controlling the fire’s development and significantly reducing heat and smoke production. This allowed the resident more time to self-evacuate from the dwelling to a place of safety. \n                            \nImage credit Wolverhampton Homes living room seat of the fire\nSpecification of the sprinkler system  \n\nInstalled to comply with BS 9251:2014 Fire Sprinkler Systems for Domestic and Residential Occupancies – Code of Practice.\nCategory 3:\n\nConclusion  \nThis incident provides further supporting evidence of the benefits of sprinklers to under pin the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association’s (BAFSA) advocacy\, turning operational evidence into persuasive tools for policy and parliamentary engagement\, and reinforcing the case for the retrofitting of sprinklers systems in high-rise residential blocks of flats. \nWe welcomed the government’s November 2020 decision to lower the height threshold for mandatory sprinklers in purpose group 1a (residential blocks of flats) from 30 metres to 11 metres. Nevertheless\, concerns persist regarding the lack of requirements to retrofit existing residential buildings with sprinklers. \nIn alignment with the 2NFCC sprinkler position statement\, The BAFSA advocate for government action to mandate the retrofitting of sprinklers in high-rise residential buildings. Retrofitting should apply to all existing residential buildings over 18 metres in height\, or those with at least seven storeys served by a single staircase\, as well as all existing residential buildings exceeding 11 metres\, based on risk assessments. \nThe outcome of this fire could have been so different if building had not been fitted with a sprinkler system. \nSources/further reading \n\nSprinkler saves review 2024/2025\nSprinkler Saves winter review\nNFSN Newsletter\n1Efficiency and Effectiveness of sprinkler systems in the United Kingdom:An Analysis from Fire Service Data\n2NFCC AWSS Policy Statement\n\nIf you want to make a difference working in the fire sector\, we need your assistance.

SUMMARY:West Midlands Fire Service Sprinkler Activations January-April 2025
DESCRIPTION:Introduction \nSix incidents have been reported by West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) where sprinklers were present\, having an impact for the above-mentioned period. Raising awareness of how the destructive effects of fire can be mitigated\, and in most cases\, be prevented through the enhanced use of sprinklers\, and other forms of Automatic Water Suppression Systems (AWSS) which save lives\, protect firefighters\, homes and businesses as part of an appropriate package of fire safety measures. \nEmbracing the call from the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) who actively encourage fire services to collate\, promote case studies to Sprinkler Saves UK to promote the effectiveness of sprinklers in operating and controlling and in some cases extinguishing the fire. The outcome of which will continue to promote a better understanding of the benefits of AFSS in the wider community\, fire safety sector in general as an effective and reliable fire protection measure as part of a package of fire safety measures protecting life and property from fire. \nProviding further evidence as part of our campaign driving change so AWSS are understood and accepted as the norm and not the exception\, the outcome of which will. \n\nInfluence policy makers to strengthen AWSS requirements\, England’s sprinkler fire safety regulations trail behind its neighbours.\nGovernments in other UK jurisdictions have set lower mandatory thresholds for the installation of sprinklers.\nEntice housing provider stakeholders and\, others to install sprinklers as part of a package of fire safety measures providing a further layer of protection from fire for our communities.\n\nWest Midlands Fire Service¹ \nIs the second largest in England\, operates 38 stations and various emergency response vehicles staffed by more than 1\,350 firefighters and officers. In 2023\, it responded to 30\,000 incidents. \nActively promotes the installation of AWSS in high-risk areas. \nRegulatory and sector changes relating to fire safety have occurred since the Grenfell tower fire. One such change has been the increase of sprinkler installations across the country with housing providers\, local authorities and developers committing to install sprinklers in purpose-built block of flats on a new and retrofit basis. In 2017\, Birmingham City Council (BCC) decided to retrofit fire sprinklers in 213 purpose-built blocks of flats to enhance resident safety. Previously\, they had installed sprinklers in all communal bin areas of their residential tower blocks. \nKey fact \n\nSix incidents were reported. In five cases\, the sprinkler system extinguished the fire upon activation\, and in the remaining case\, the activation contained and controlled the fire.\n\n \nProviding further evidence of the reliability and effectiveness of AWSS\, supporting the UK research² which was commissioned by the NFCC\, National Fire Sprinkler Network and supported by British Automatic Sprinkler Association. (BAFSA) \nThe report found that: \n\nSprinklers are 99% efficient in extinguishing or controlling a fire.\nSprinklers are 94% efficient in their ability to operate.\n\nIncidents AWSS were reported as present\, having an impact \n Key facts \n\nFour incidents involved purpose-built flats that had been retrofitted with a sprinkler system as part of the Birmingham City Council sprinkler projects.\nThese incidents were either contained\, controlled\, or extinguished.\n\nProviding further evidence that the main functional objectives of a life safety system were achieved. \n\nReducing the rate of heat and smoke\, containing and controlling or even extinguishing the fire.\nReducing the likelihood of a fire spreading beyond the room of origin.\nFirefighters completing operational duties without due risk to either effect rescue or assist evacuation.\nPrevent conflagration.\nAllowing the business-as-usual service to be maintained within WMFS by reducing the impact of major fire incidents allowing the release of resources to provide an effective response to attend other emergencies\n\n\nPurpose Built Flats/Maisonettes – 10 or more storeys\n\n\nDate of Incident; 6 January 2025\nIncident; Fire.\nLocation of fire; Living room\nAFSS; Sprinklers.\nImpact of AFSS; Extinguished\n\nA sprinkler system extinguished a sofa fire in a 10th-floor flat of a 20-storey building containing the fire to the initial item ignited. The resident self-evacuate before the arrival of WMFS. \n       2/3. Purpose built Flats/Maisonettes 4-9 storeys \n\nDate of Incident(s); 17 January/6 March 2025\nIncident; Fire.\nLocation of fire(s); Refuse/bin store\nAFSS; Sprinklers.\nImpact of AFSS; Contained/controlled/extinguished\n\nTwo refuse bin chute room fires were contained\, controlled\, or extinguished by the premises sprinkler system requiring minimal intervention by the fire service. \nThe risk of refuse/bin store fires should not be underestimated\, these fires can significantly impact resident safety\, especially where bin chutes open onto protected corridors\, lobbies\, and stairs\, increasing the risk of fire and smoke spreading to common escape routes. \nData from Fire Rescue services for 2018/19 to 2023/24 shows the impact of these fires in purpose-built block of flats in England\, Scotland\, and Wales where AWSS were present\, having an impact. \nIt was identified that. \n\nRefuse/bin stores recorded the highest number of incidents with 327 activations.\nWhat cannot be defined by the data is whether the installation of AWSS within buildings is limited to these refuse/bin stores alone or extended to the occupied flat areas.\n\n \nAnalysis of the data reveals that of the 327 refuse store fires where sprinklers were present having an impact\, WMFS dominated the figures with 157 which should be of no surprise following the decision by BCC to install sprinklers in all communal bin areas of their residential tower blocks. \n \nWhat the data is unable to confirm is the rationale behind why a small majority of AWSS fire incidents were identified as not containing/controlling the fire or recorded as unknown. Further interrogation of the IRS data fields would be required to explore this anomaly. \n\n Commercial Fire\n\n\nDate of Incident; 22 February 2025\nIncident; Fire.\nLocation of fire; Kitchen\nAFSS; Sprinklers.\nImpact of AFSS; Extinguished\n\nA fire in an electrical deep fat fryer was extinguished by the sprinkler system. Fixed firefighting systems have proven to protect property\, business\, and jobs\, allowing the impacted business to resume operations within hours and avoid economic and social costs. \nTypically\, in commercial kitchens fixed firefighting systems such as wet chemical systems are used for object protection\, kitchen areas\, fryers\, oil cookers etc and not used for area wide protection of a building. \nThe benefit of installing wet chemicals is that they provide excellent flame knockdown and surface cooling the scope of kitchen protection should include all appliances that are capable of catching fire and not just the deep fat fryers\, protection should cover ventilated ceilings/hoods\, plenums and duct entrances and should be activated simultaneously. \n\n Purpose built Flats/Maisonettes 4-9 storeys\n\n\nDate of Incident; 18 April 2025\nIncident; Fire.\nLocation of fire; Bedroom\nAFSS; Sprinklers.\nImpact of AFSS; Extinguished\n\nA fire involving a mattress and bedding was contained by the residential sprinkler system. The flat’s occupants evacuated safely before WMFS arrived\, and no injuries were reported. Smoking materials was the likely cause of the fire. \nThe benefit of sprinklers should not be underestimated\, the image of a similar bedroom fire reported by South Yorkshire Fire Service (SYFS) speaks a thousand words. \nThe fire was extinguished before the arrival of SYFR by the activation of 1 residential sprinkler head within the flat. No further firefighting media were required from SYFR\, and no injuries were reported. \n \nImage credit SYFS\n\n Student halls of residence\n\n\nDate of Incident; 22 April 2025\nIncident; Fire.\nLocation of fire; Kitchen\nAFSS; Sprinklers.\nImpact of AFSS; Extinguished\n\nA cooking pan kitchen fire within a flat on the 12th floor of a 17-storey building was extinguished by the residential sprinkler system with fire damage to the item first ignited. No further interaction by the fire service was required. \nIt is no surprise that kitchen fires accounted for the highest number of fires following the findings identified by London Fire Brigade³ for cooking related fires for this occupancy who reported that over the past 5 years London firefighters have attended more than 1\,200 cooking-related fires and false alarms in university students’ halls involving kitchen activities\, People living in rented or shared accommodation are seven times more likely to have a fire involving unattended cooking. \nThe benefits of installing sprinklers for this type of occupancy was reinforced following three fires reported to Sprinkler Saves UK by Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service (NFRS) within the space of 12 months which were either cooking related or involved incense candles. On each occasion the fire was contained\, controlled or extinguished by the sprinkler system\, demonstrating the benefits of sprinklers. \nNottingham Kitchen fire involving an electric air fryer \n \nPremises Emergency Plan \nThe problem\, post fire sprinkler activations reported where buildings have been identified as affected by water egress following the successful activation of the sprinkler system containing\, controlling or in some cases extinguishing the fire\, predominately due to. \n\nPoor business continuity management\, inadequate onsite emergency planning by the building manager or responsible person for the fire safety arrangements within a building.\nAllowing onsite information to be available for firefighters to interact with the building active fire safety measures namely AWSS.\n\nThere is now a high probability that firefighters will attend a variety of incidents where sprinklers systems are reported as present and having an impact within these types of buildings. \nThe provision of a robust emergency plan will allow an immediate emergency response to be actioned by the fire rescue service 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\, due to the knock-on effect this can have on a business or occupancy. Debunking the myth that water damage following the actuation of the sprinkler system will be more expensive than the actual damage resulting from the fire. \nFurther detailed guidance on Sprinkler protected buildings can be found in the BAFSA Information file\, A guide for Responsible Persons and Duty Holder \nConclusion \nThis collection of incidents highlights the benefits of AWSS\, within the community and fire safety sector as an effective\, reliable fire protection measure for safeguarding life and property as part of a package of fire safety measures.

SUMMARY:West Midlands\, Tall Building Residential Duplex Sprinkler Activation
DESCRIPTION:West Midlands Fire Rescue Service (WMFRS) have reported the following sprinkler save following a fire within a high-rise residential purpose-built block of flats involving a duplex maisonette. \nBackground \n\nA duplex maisonette is an apartment having rooms on two floors connected by an internal staircase found in high rise residential blocks of flats typically with an alternative emergency exit. The design are typically a mixture of up flats and down flats with various layouts\, designs.\n Built in the 1960s\, this purpose-built block of flats consisted of nine storeys\, the flats located on ground floor are single level\, the upper floors are duplex maisonettes with access via open balcony walkways\n\n  \n \n\nFire Safety Concerns were identified by the landlord that the alternative means of escape within the maisonettes which would not meet today’s regulatory guidance.\nThe legacy means of escape located in the lower level of the maisonette consisted of an access hatch in the ceiling\, in the event of a fire compromising the means of escape to the upper floor.\n\nThe tenant would be expected to. \n\nRelease the access hatch catch with a wooden pole\, pull down the ladder.\nProceed to climb the ladder to the access floor level.\nThe small emergency escape door would then be released\, releasing the panic latch\nThe tenant would then evacuate to a final place of safety\n\nThe decision was taken by the landlord to retrofit a residential sprinkler system installed to BS9251:2014 as a compensatory measure \n  \n \nImage\, Emergency Access Hatch \nBenefit of Sprinklers \n The installation of the residential sprinkler system would provide a further layer of safety from fire for the tenants\, the benefit of which would allow. \n\nThe fire to be contained/control or extinguished\, reducing the rate of production of heat and smoke\, allowing more time for the tenants to escape to safety\nA sprinkler alarm to be transmitted to the alarm receiving centre in the event of the fire allowing the appropriate emergency response\nA further layer of safety for the protection of firefighters\n\nIt should be noted\, due to the variety\, complexity of the layouts it is very difficult for firefighters in the event of a fire to understand the vertical perspective which is paramount for firefighters’ situational awareness. \nThe Incident \n\nFire and Rescue Service; West Midlands Fire & Rescue Service\nPremises Type; Residential Block of flats of 9 storeys\nWhere\, West Midlands\nWhen; July 2022\n\n  \n\nLocal knowledge of operational crews was clearly demonstrated identifying the building as a duplex apartment design with a fire on a lower level\, the incident commander committed a team of 4 wearing Breathing Apparatus (BA) to extinguish the fire\, perform search and rescue operations.\nWhen accessing a fire compartment from above\, firefighters may be required to descend through hot fire gases. This heat layer will usually be the hottest section of the compartment fire and may increase internal body temperature of firefighters\, affecting the integrity of firefighting media\, personal protection equipment.\nThe seat of the fire was identified to be within a cupboard containing the hot water tank where clothing was identified as being stored on top of the tank which caught light. The cause of the fire is under investigation\nThe fire was contained and controlled by the actuation of 1x sidewall sprinkler head prior to the BA team extinguishing the fire\nThe occupants of the apartment were all accounted for with three adults receiving precautionary check-ups on scene by ambulance personnel for smoke inhalation but did not require hospital attendance or further treatment\, the cause of the fire is under investigation\nThe tenant hailed the swift response of the fire crews and was surprised at the effect of the sprinkler system\, noting that he had anticipated all the heads actuating simultaneously\, yet only the head next to the actual fire did so.\nImage Copyright WMFRS \n \n   Seat of fire\, clothing located on top of the hot water tank\n\nImpact of the Residential Fire Sprinkler System \n\n1 x Sidewall Fire Sprinkler Head located adjacent to the cupboard activated containing/controlling the fire preventing the fire from spreading from the compartment of origin.\nAs the cupboard was recessed into the wall from which the fire sprinkler head was mounted its coverage\, effectiveness was impacted.\n\nHowever\, at the operational debrief the initial Breathing Apparatus team committed to tackle the fire commented. \n\nConditions were tenable descending the stairs\nThe smoke was very light in colour\, due to its dilution with water discharged from the fire sprinkler head\nThe fire was contained/controlled\n\n  \nImage Copyright WMFRS \n \nImage\, activated sidewall sprinkler head \nBusiness Continuity  \nRelatively minor fire and smoke damage spread from the compartment of origin\, water egress was minimised due to the prompt action of operational crews isolating the fire sprinkler isolation valve. \nImage Copyright WMFRS \n \nImage\, living accommodation \n \nImage\, alternative means of escape\nBoth the landlord and West Midland Fire Rescue Service\, should be applauded for their approach\, commitment to sprinklers\, sending a clear message \n\nSprinklers can supress or even extinguish a fire\, saving both lives and property clear benefits for the environment reducing carbon emissions\nPromoting sprinkler saves to a wider audience will entice other landlords\, architects to follow their lead making sprinklers the norm not the exception\n\nConclusion \nThis incident clearly reinforces the benefits of retrofitting fire sprinklers in high-rise residential fires. \n\nRapidly reducing the rate of production of heat and smoke allowing tenable conditions for operational crews to safely extinguish the fire and carry out search and rescue operations\nContaining the fire to compartment of origin\nFlash over conditions minimised\nInternal fire spread contained/controlled\, preventing further fire spread to the common ways\nRelatively minor fire prevented from being a major fire\nSupports The most recent UK research ¹was commissioned by The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC)\, National Fire Sprinkler Network (NFSN) and supported by BAFSA. The research report that across all premises types:\n\n\nSprinklers are 99% efficient in extinguishingor controlling a fire\nSprinklers are 94% efficient in their abilityto operate\n\n¹Efficiency and Effectiveness of Sprinkler Systems in the United Kingdom: An Analysis from Fire Service Data – Optimal Economics 2017 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
