Darren Gunter, the Chief Fire Officer of Dorset Fire and Rescue Service has joined the calls for Fire Sprinkler Systems to be made mandatory in all new schools and care homes. He also backs the CFOA’s campaign endorsing changes in legislation be made making sprinkler systems compulsory in all new domestic builds similar to the legislation changes passed in Wales in April 2011.nnCraig Baker, Head of Fire Safety at Dorset Fire and Rescue, added: “We do accept that there is a cost to this but we really want to make sure people are thinking safety first.  “We know [with sprinklers] that people can get out safely, the property is protected to a very greater extent, the damage is less and the environmental damage is less.”
