Humberside Fire and Rescue Service are to trial the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in the homes of vulnerable people.  The measure is being made as part of the service’s commitment to reduce deaths due to domestic fires to zero and will be provided in 10 homes belonging to people identified as being unable to escape in the event of a fire.nnDaryl Oprey, head of safety for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, said: “These measures help give us more time to get there, or give them more time to survive whilst we get there.  “A fire can take hold very quickly and the products of combustion can have a serious effect within minutes.  “It takes minutes for the fire service to get there and unfortunately on some occasions we are a little bit too late.  “If we can extend the survivability of that person within the home then it will give us that window to get there and help them.”nnDomestic and Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems should be installed in accordance with BS 9251 by a recognised sprinkler contractor preferably with Firas or LPS 1048 certification.
