Text Box: Water mist activation saves lives...

November 2009: Three days after we commissioned a water mist-system in Eastbourne, a fire occurred at the property. One sprinkler head was activated and extinguished the fire immediately. East Sussex Fire and Rescue were called to find that the occupants of the property had safely escaped. Ultrasafe Fire Solutions were immediately called out to re-commission the system and within seven hours the family were back in their property. 

Thanks to our partnership with East Sussex Fire & Rescue (who had identified the property as a fire risk), we helped to save the lives of the family as well as their property and the property adjacent. Adrian Brown, Director of Fire Protection for East Sussex Fire & Rescue commented that it was a ‘...great example of use of our resources and partnership workings.’
Text Box: Fire Sprinklers save the day...

1st September 2009: East Sussex Fire Rescue Service were called to a reported smell of smoke in a building. Two fire engines were sent and a fire in a basement flat was discovered

A fire was discovered in a basement bedroom. Fortunately the building had been fitted with a residential fire sprinkler system which had almost extinguished the fire before the brigade arrived.

The sprinkler system sounded a fire alarm which allowed the occupants to escape safely.

Thanks to the sprinkler system, the damage was low and the Brigade had little to do.

Adrian Brown Director of Prevention & Protection for East Sussex Brigade said “Once again we see the benefits of having a properly installed and working sprinkler system, there are many myths about sprinklers.  The reality is they save lives and property as we have seen in this instance.  This just shows why the Fire & Rescue Service are keen promoters of sprinklers”

‘Ultrasafe Fire Solutions’ who installed the sprinkler system agreed that the situation could have been a lot worse and that there may have been fatalities if  a  sprinkler system had not been fitted’

Keith Morris from Ultrasafe Fire Solutions added “when designing a system ‘life safety’ is our primary concern. Fire should never be underestimated it does not discriminate. A sprinkler system is like having a 24 hour fire fighter in your property.
