Even though the number of fire accidents and fatalities decreased in our country in the recent past, \u00a0the scope of catastrophe caused by these deadly fires is worst of late.\u00a0 For instance, the Philadelphia Apartment Fire (Jan 05, 2022) and Bronx Residential Fire (Jan 10, 2022) have killed more than a dozen lives.\u00a0 Bronx Fire accident was considered as one among the deadliest in the past three decades in New York, according to the officials.<\/p>\n

The lack of compliance with local regulations has been considered as the prime reason behind such unforeseen incidents.\u00a0 There were a few notable associated happenings in the Bronx Fire incident.\u00a0 The malfunctioning of self-closing doors resulted in the smoke spreading to all floors very fast. The false alarm systems and absence of fire sprinkler systems compounded the after-effects.\u00a0 During any fire blaze, it is not the fire that kills people but the smoke that spreads faster than fire.\u00a0 In the case of the Philadelphia fire, there were no smoke detectors which resulted in 12 fatalities.\u00a0 The U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres rightly commented that the absence of fire sprinkler systems in many of the old residential buildings would make them more susceptible to devastating fires.\u00a0 Most of these buildings were built in the early 70s when fire sprinklers were not mandatory.<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/p>\n

This raises many questions on proper inspection of Fire Protection Systems<\/a> for older and aging High Rise Buildings.\u00a0 In fact, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) mandates inspections of fire sprinkler systems every five years<\/a> for proper functioning.\u00a0 The NFPA says \u201cthe best way to reduce loss of life and property from home fires is by installing fire sprinklers, noting that they \u201ccontrol 97 percent of the fires in which they operate.\u2019\u2019 But it is sad to state that not many buildings have fire sprinkler systems or follow such inspections and maintenance<\/a>.\u00a0 This is evident with the number of causalities increasing while such fire accidents occur.\u00a0 Further, these incidences prove how important the fire sprinkler installation is on these old buildings in saving precious lives.\u00a0 NFPA Research also shows that sprinklers reduce the rate of civilian fire deaths by 87% and injuries by 27%.<\/p>\n

Fire Sprinkler Systems suppress the fire quicker which allows the residents enough time to escape.\u00a0 It can extinguish the residential fire in less than a minute, says the NFPA.\u00a0 Automatic fire sprinklers have been used successfully to protect commercial buildings in this country for over a century.\u00a0 Residential buildings are as important as commercial buildings in saving the precious lives of people.\u00a0 It only cost 1% approx. of the total building costs.\u00a0 Further, discounts on insurance will be available to benefit the homeowners.<\/p>\n
