According to Care Home UK, there are about 17,100 care homes in the UK housing nearly 500,000 people. We're encouraged by proposals that will mandate the use of sprinklers in care homes, regardless of height. Do you think the new proposals are enough? bit.ly/3DN3KOZ

Active fire protection systems are not considered in sustainability design with a focus on materials and energy alone. However, the fact that they minimise fire incidents is equally as important in reducing environmental impact: bit.ly/3hERXYo

Sprinklers are an essential component in the fire safety tool box. They should be considered to protect property and life in the event of a fire to deliver stronge outcomes. #ThinkSprinkler

The BSA was delighted to support & raise awareness of sprinklers at @FIREXIntl in May. It was also hosts to the AGM for the National Fire Sprinkler Network (NFSN), one of our founding members. We caught up with Rob Barber, newly appointed as Chair of NFSN: bit.ly/3IOoAid

Large, single storey warehouses are not designed to withstand fire &, without sprinklers, the contents within them are at high risk of damage. There are still too many devastating warehouse fires that affect business continuity and that must change: bit.ly/3OqCwjE

Our mission is to increase the no. of business premises that have fire #sprinklers fitted. We do this by showing that fire resilience is better for businesses, people & environment. We aim to drive a culture change so sprinklers are understood & accepted: bit.ly/3u8uBAo

According to @FMGlobal, sprinklered fires show a reduction in damage of 80 to 85%. It's proven time and time again across the globe that sprinklers can make all the difference in the event of a fire. Watch our newly updated #CPD here: bit.ly/3LVGbVv #ThinkSprinkler

Fire creates a ripple effect. It not only impacts one person or one company, its impact radiates out. To understand the true cost of fire, we must look beyond Approved Document B & properly protect our buildings and assets with strong fire safety measures: bit.ly/3OuHIEh

Sprinklers offer a proven method of providing life & property protection. To make an informed choice, it's important for businesses to consider the benefits that sprinklers can bring to industrial and commercial buildings. Visit the BSA website for more: bit.ly/3FVzwJB

Fire detection systems save lives by providing a warning of fire, but can do nothing to prevent the fire itself. Sprinklers can take immediate action to control or extinguish fire. Find out more sprinkler facts here: bit.ly/3zvBLlU #ThinkSprinkler

In industrial settings, water mist systems tend to protect selected machines, equipment or enclosed volumes. On the other hand, sprinklers can be used in larger volumes & act as protection for whole areas or compartments. bit.ly/3N3TbK0

A recent fire at an industrial site in Harlow, Essex led to the destruction of a long-established, family-run sausage factory, which now leaves the business and its staff facing an uncertain future. Without sprinklers, the building could not be saved: bit.ly/3wVbxpJ

In the year 2019/20, the Fire & Rescue Service attended a total of 14,308 non-dwelling fires. Whatever the cause & whatever the building, fires can be contained & extinguished by systems such as sprinklers to protect life, business, jobs and the economy: bit.ly/3LiTeQL
