Hampshire businesses urged to install sprinkler systems
BUSINESSES across the Portsmouth area being warned to ensure they have a working sprinkler system installed.
The advice comes from Hampshire Fire and Rescue group manager Tony Deacon, who said sprinklers can help avert catastrophic damage.
‘There is a false myth surrounding sprinklers perpetuated by films which show them flooding an entire building because somebody lights a cigarette,’ he said.
‘They have an extremely localised range and can be set to trigger at a variety of different temperatures depending on the nature of a business.’
