On 24th June, BAFSA member RSP Sprinklers Wales received a call out to small block of flats in Cardiff where their sprinkler system successfully extinguished a fire.
The call was received at 15.42 hours; their engineer arrived on site at 16.26 hours and had the block fully protected again at 16.54 hours.
The fire had started on an external balcony, igniting a gas canister which exploded and set off the sprinkler inside the flat. The sprinkler successfully extinguished the fire both inside the flat and out on the balcony where the flames were within reach of the sprinkler spray pattern.
