SPRINKLER SAVES
At Compco Fire Systems, we are passionate about protecting lives and properties through the effective use of Fire Sprinkler Systems, that's why we are delighted to be able to support Sprinkler Saves by The British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA).
This invaluable resource highlights real-life instances where Fire Sprinkler Systems have made a significant difference. Encouraging the promotion and installation of Fire Sprinkler Systems drives a culture change so that Fire Sprinklers are understood and accepted as the norm in the United Kingdom.
The case features on Sprinkler Saves range from residential properties to large commercial buildings, schools, and other public places. Each incident is detailed with information about the location, type of building, and the outcome, providing compelling evidence of the effectiveness of Fire Sprinkler Systems.
The importance of showcasing these Sprinkler Saves cannot be overstated. In the world of fire safety, there's often a lack of public awareness about how crucial Fire Sprinklers are in preventing catastrophes. Not only are they effective they are also highly reliable, activating only when needed and controlling fires quickly before they can spread.
