"I believe the case for sprinklers is stronger now than at any time. It is a worrying fact that schools are still experiencing fires at an alarming rate. Year on year, when the statistics are published for major fires, educational establishments are always at the top of the list."
Tom Carroll QFSM MIFireE, President, Chief Fire Officers Association |

Wheldon School in Nottingham had 20 arson attempts before the fire which devastated the school. The main block was lost, including the library, together with years’ of work by the students and teachers.

The new building, including the IT suite and drama studio includes a fully automatic fire sprinkler system, that cost around £77,000.
