@robinsfiresolutions: This real-time warehouse fire test was carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Sprinklers — the same design principles used in the UK under BS EN 12845:2015 + A2:2019. 🔥 On the left: no sprinkler protection. Within seconds, flames reach the upper tiers, keeps growing, and smoke fills the space = total loss. 💧 On the right: a single ceiling-level sprinkler activates, containing the fire before it can spread beyond the ignition bay, and ultimately puts out the fire. It’s a powerful reminder that sprinklers don’t “flood buildings”, they control heat release early, often with just one head operating. 🏭 In the UK, sprinklers are: • Required in storage buildings over 20 000 m² (Approved Document B Vol 2, Table B4). • Strongly recommended where there’s high-bay racking, combustible stock, or limited firefighting access. • Often demanded by insurers or local Fire and Rescue Services for rapid-spread risks. One active sprinkler head can do more in 30 seconds than a fire crew can in five minutes.
