Hi All

Pleas help me to save lives by sining the petition at: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/firesprinklers/

Quote:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make it a legal requirement for all flats to have Fire Sprinklers installed, to prevent disasters like the one in Camberwell South London on 5/07/2009, it is a legal requirement in a number of countries such as the USA for flats to have Fire Sprinklers installed.

It should be a legal requirement for all flats to have:

Fire Alarm System
Fire Doors
Fire Escape
Fire Sprinklers
Emergency Lighting

With this lives would be saved.

It is the communal areas that I want to have Fire Sprinklers.

By the way awre bin room has been on Fire 3 times, on the Estate total number of time the bin rooms have been on Fire is 16 times. Plus 5 flats have been on Fire in the Estate, one made the news. The bin rooms are in the flats on the Ground Floor of the bloks, this blok has 6 Floors in clouding Ground Floor, it is the biggest blok on the Estate with 37 flats in it.

A wire bin?

I think the O.P has dyslexia. Not trying to be funny or anything.

I don't know. I can usually decipher most typos in chats and message boards, often reading past them and not really noticing.
That just stumped me though :/

Say it out loud.

I'm guessing that 'awre bin' is 'our bin'. The two sound the same when spoken.

I think ur flogging a dead horse here no offense as it could cost BILLIONS to bring all the buildings in the UK upto spec on this money that a lot of councils, Privite Landlords and Housing associations dont have.

What ur trying to do is a good thing and i totally agree with it but i just cant see it happening.

The question is what price do you put on some ones life, it should be a legal requirement for all flats to have Fire Sprinklers, it doesn't matter that this will cost: Councils, Private Landlords, Housing Associations a lot of money, if the USA can do it we can do it!

How many people would have been saved on 5/07/2009 with having a Fire Sprinkler in the flats, I would say all of them would be saved.

Fire Sprinklers can and do put out Fires 90% of the time!

Nothing to do with the topic I know, but how many people write your posts tdadyslexia.

Back on topic, I can see it being a good idea in principle but only new builds will be able to factor the cost in, and saying what price do put on someones life is just tugging heart strings and not really practicable, tough to say I know but I don't know anyone that has died in a fire personally so I would be reluctant to shell out any hard earned..

I would much rather pay out more for cancer research or even car driver re-education as these two subjects are much closer to home.. And we can't all pay up for everything that might just sorta one day happen.

Two portable 8’ X 8’ rooms are demonstrating how fire sprinklers can stop a fire ded. one room has a fire sprinkler the other one has not got a fire sprinkler, the room with out a fire sprinkler went in to a flashover,

Fire fiters have less work to do with a room that has a fire sprinkler, plus it is safer for Fire fiters and the occupants.

The fire sprinklers will kill the fire at the incipient stage of the fire. The fire sprinklers control the fire and extinguishment of the fire allows the occupants to escape from the fire.

The Fire fiters response time can be longer with fire sprinklers installed in the building, plus the cleanup time is shorter and less damage done.

If you live in a flat wich room would you rather be in? The protected room with a fire sprinkler or the room with out fire sprinklers wat is unprotected?

If you said the protected room pleas sine the petition.

For information on residential fire sprinklers see: Eclipse Fire Protection.

i doubt it would cost that and in any case they don't often bring in retrospective laws mostly its just that it has to be done at the next refurb and all new housig fitted

plus look at all those extra jobs it could create

as to cost it cost about as much as carpeting a house or flat so some where between £1500 to £3000

but for most landlords and housing associations they should get a lot of that back in reduced insurance premiums over time and in any case if every one had to have it the cost of putting it in would drop as more companies competed for the work

all in all i think its worth the cost any how especially for multy occupancy houses and flats and still worth it for houses as well
