A sprinkler save is when one or sprinkler heads have been activated and have successfully contained and controlled a fire.
Our Sprinkler Saves annual review provides important data for legislators, industry and other interested parties on how effective sprinklers are at doing their job.
It demonstrates the vital role sprinklers play in fire safety by highlighting real, tangible examples of where they have activated and in doing so saved life and protected property. The story around the incident provides powerful evidence of the ability of sprinklers to protect life, firefighters, and property from fire.
The current review uses information collated from:
Primary fires reported for the financial year ending March 2024, in which sprinklers were reported as activated and having an impact. The reported incidents span a wide range of building types and occupancies.
Primary fire data sourced following a freedom of information request to the respective teams collating fire incident data attended by Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) for England, Scotland, and Wales where Automatic Fire Suppression Systems (AFSS) were reported as activated and having an impact for 2022/2023.
BAFSA also publishes a quarterly Sprinkler Saves update which is sent out to our database of Fire & Rescue Services, building control and housing associations and is made available at all of our events along with a London Review which collates sprinker saves that have been reported to us from London Fire & Rescue Service. All publications are free to download and distribute.
Visit BAFSA's Sprinkler Saves website for more details or to report a sprinkler activation.
The BAFSA Yearbook is an indispensable guide to the UK sprinkler industry and also features a directory of all of BAFSA's members.
This is distributed to Building Control, Housing Associations and Fire & Rescue Services. Copies are also shared at all trade shows, exhibitions and seminars that BAFSA attends.
