Description

Sprinklers are seen as the only system which detects a fire, suppresses a fire and raises the alarm, making them vitally important as part of a package of fire safety measures, particularly in buildings where there are vulnerable people such as care-homes and schools. Evidence from the US (NFPA) shows that deaths per thousand reported fires were 87% lower where sprinklers were fitted. This range of signs help identify sprinkler systems and locations of important equipment within the building as outlined in BS EN 12845:2015 Fixed firefighting systems. Automatic sprinkler systems.
