Sprinklers
A school has just gone up in flames in my area. Usual photos of it burning
inside whilst water is put on the outside. Usual cries for sprinklers - but these can be vandalised and could cause problems. I know about dry risers - usually to Landing Hose Unions - but what about a simple array of pipes in the roof space with open nozzles. In the event of a fire then the Fire Engine hooks up and dowses the fire from the inside using the fixed nozzles - no need to enter the building. Notre Dame would have possibly been saved if such a simple system was in place. Any thoughts? It seems a compromise to a full sprinkler system but has the advantage of not being automatic and able to flood the building. |
