Fire does not discriminate; whether it is a railway station, factory, car park, warehouse or office, fires happen on a regular basis and will continue to do so in the future. Perversely, the more we build using many materials that are seen as ‘sustainable’, the more we are increasing the fuel load in the building. Whatever the cause and whatever the building, fires can be contained and extinguished by systems such as sprinklers to ensure that life is not put at risk, and businesses, jobs and the economy are protected at a time when they are needed most.
