Sprinklers: promoting their use
The South East Fire and Rescue Services' Business Plan 2007/10 included a project on promoting the installation of sprinklers wherever they may help to save lives and reduce injuries. We took a paper to the Regional Management Board on recent work undertaken by Kent and Medway Fire and Rescue Authority to understand barriers to the uptake of sprinkler systems, and a related media campaign designed to overcome negative perceptions. The report also provide information on work conducted by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority to promote the installation of sprinklers. Read the report.
