Residental Sprinkler Systems

Each year in the UK the Fire & Rescue Services attend approximately 60,000 fires in dwellings.  Figures taken from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for 2005 show that these fires kill over 400 people and injure a further 12,000 annually.

For each day of the year therefore, a life is lost and over thirty people are injured as a result of a fire in, what is often, their own home.

The last 10 years however, has seen a gradual downward trend in the number of fire related casualties but the figure remains unacceptably high.  The elderly, the very young (under 5’s), disabled and - it has to be said those who suffer from drug and/or alcohol – are the people who feature in this grim annual tally.  In addition the British Crime Survey (BCS) estimates that the Fire & Rescue Services attend only one fifth of all dwelling fires and the actual number of fires in dwellings is approximately 320,000 each year – or almost 900 per day! 

Sprinklers are systems that activate from the ceiling of a building automatically. They help reduce the spread of the fire by (in the majority) spraying water to dampen down the premises to help control the fire spreading. As a sprinkler systems contractor, Fire Crest Fire Protection can provide:
