A primary objective of the building standards system however is to ‘further the achievement of sustainable development’. Property protection - concerns about fire have traditionally centred on life protection rather than asset protection. A smaller fire means that the fire and rescue service will be able to bring the fire under control and extinguish it much more quickly.
In some cases, the fire might be extinguished if the fire is not shielded from the sprinkler spray. The spray pattern delivered from the heads should control fire spread, reduce temperatures and dilute the smoke.
Automatic suppression may provide some benefit to occupants in the room of fire origin where for example the fire growth is fast and the temperatures allow the sprinkler system to open early in the development phase of the fire. Life safety - automatic fire suppression systems react to heat therefore, the greatest protection is afforded to those occupants outwith the room of fire origin. The primary role of the suppression system may be for life safety or property protection. It can provide occupants, including vulnerable occupants, with the additional time necessary to escape following the outbreak of fire. Automatic fire suppression systems help control the intensity and size of a fire, suppress it and in some cases may even extinguish it.
