Sprinkler system to be installed following fire at Campsfield immigration centre
7:30am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News By Oliver Evans, covering Banbury. Call me on 01865 425271
A SPRINKLER system is to be installed at a blaze damaged Kidlington immigration centre after concerns from a fire chief.
The Home Office said it would fit the system as part of repairs to Campsfield House after the October 19 blaze.
The fire in one of three blocks at the Langford Lane centre saw more than 100 detainees moved to other centres.
Two were injured but all have now returned.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service chief fire officer Dave Etheridge, right, urged the Home Office to install sprinklers in 2007.
He said the extent of Octobers fire would have been less had the system been fitted.
Home Office spokesman Sally Henfield said: We take the welfare of detainees extremely seriously and comply with all the relevant fire safety legislation.
The decision to install additional fire safety equipment at Campsfield House follows advice from the chief fire officer.

A flood believed to have been caused by a burst pipe in the fire-sprinkler system destroyed hundreds of bags and boxes of clothes, blankets, toys and other donations for the homeless at Light of Lifes storage building on Ridge Avenue over the weekend.
The flood happened Friday or Saturday but was not discovered until Sunday because the building, a former city school, is only used for storage and special events, according to the nonprofit, which provides meals and housing programs for the homeless.
Water was gushing out of the pipe for nearly six hours after the flooding was discovered Sunday. Light of Life staff say warm weather after last weeks record-breaking frigid temperatures caused the pipe to break and that city workers were unable to assist in shutting it off for hours because of similar problems throughout the city.
We couldnt get it off, said Denny Smith, Light of Lifes director of mens programs. If we were using this building, it would have been a disaster.
About 20 volunteers helped sort the 500 sodden bags and boxes into usable and ruined piles, said Kate Wadsworth, a spokeswoman for the group. Nearly 75 percent of the donations were destroyed, she said.
The nonprofit, which serves about 100,000 meals a year and runs a 22-bed emergency shelter, a 38-bed mens long-term recovery program and a 30-bed program for women and their children, is seeking donations to replace what was lost as well as volunteers to help clean up.

Fire alarm was triggered at Tesco in Park Road in Dingle earlier today
Shoppers ended up getting a soaking after a Liverpool supermarkets sprinkler system went off unexpectedly.
The fire alarm was triggered in Tesco in Park Road in Dingle earlier today.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service was called at around 16.51pm.
The manager had already evacuated the store before crews arrived.
A spokesman for the service said: We went out to Tesco at 16.51. It was a fire alarm that had gone off. The manager had evacuated the premises.
It was due to the sprinkler system activating. Its believed to have been a fault that triggered it. There was no fire.
One man took to Twitter, saying his mum was among customers who got a soaking by the stores sprinkler system.
He said the fire alarms had gone off and the store was evacuated and that the drama had seen the sprinkler system rain down on customers, including the elderly, who were left standing in the cold outside the store.

Shoppers soaked after sprinkler system fault at Tesco store in Liverpool
A Planning Commission meeting at the Lower Merion Township Building was cut short Tuesday after a sprinkler pipe located in the hallway outside of the board room burst.
Fire units responded to the scene while commission members and those in attendance evacuated the building.
On Wednesday morning, township Public Information Officer Tom Walsh confirmed the broken pipe was weather-related. In the extreme cold, the pipe had frozen and burst.
Occurring in a stairwell beyond the board room on the second floor, water was pouring from the sprinkler system down the stairs. The break in the sprinkler system caused fire alarms in the building to go off. The Merion Fire Company of Ardmore responded to check the building.
The break occurred about an hour and a half into the planning meeting, not long after Dranoff Properties had completed a presentation on its proposed Cricket lot project. Planners were discussing an application by Bryn Mawr College for demolition and reconstruction of a part of the Haffner Hall dormitory when the decision was made to evacuate the building. Still to be heard on the agenda was an application regarding a preliminary land development plan for an addition to Welsh Valley Middle School. It was not known Wednesday morning whether the meeting could be rescheduled this week.
After the pipe break, Walsh said a number of Public Works employees were called in to clean up. Continued...
As of Wednesday, he said the affected sprinkler head had been replaced and the system reset. A small hole was cut in the second-floor ceiling to allow heat to reach the area of the pipe and prevent re- freezing.
A clean-up crew was scheduled to come in Wednesday to determine what materials, such as carpet, would need to be replaced for mold prevention, but Walsh said damage to the building was believed to be minimal.
The Township Building was open for business Wednesday, and Walsh said a scheduled meeting of the board of commissioners for Wednesday night would be held.
Fire units responded to the scene while commission members and those in attendance evacuated the building.

Miami Universitys state-of-the-art building automation system helped prevent major water problems experienced at other colleges and universities this past week.
Several houses and buildings in the region suffered fractured water mains and pipes when sub zero temperature rose to the mid-40s the past few days.
On Wednesday, Miami University reported minor pipe bursting problems due to a broken sprinkler system. There also was water that escaped from a fractured frozen pipe in an attic space at Porter Hall, according to university building maintenance officials.
Earlier this week, approximately 50 Wright State University students were evacuated from Cimarron Woods, an apartment building, following a water main break. This past Tuesday, several buildings at the University of Dayton suffered flooding.
Thanks to our monitoring system we were able to respond immediately, minimize damage and isolate the situation to get it cleaned up before any loss of property or damage to student rooms, said Jeremy Davis, director of building maintenance for Miami University.
Approximately 80 employees monitor the building automation system 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They keep a close eye on building temperatures and conditions.
If they get out of parameters they send an alarm and we respondwe use the system to increase temperatures during the times when temperature is cold outside so that we can reduce any failures to our system, said Davis.
Workers are also equipped with iPads to help them diagnose problems remotely.
The system helps conserve energy, indicates if theres a loss of water flow and protects building assets, according to university officials.
Its cutting edge. Its the greatest thing we have going. It saves us a lot of money, we use it for trouble shooting, for maintenance repair and for utilities costs, Davis said.

High-tech system prevents flooding in Miami University buildings
SALEM - City firefighters spent a lot of their time Wednesday on water problems, including one which shut down the Peebles clothing store for several hours due to a break in the sprinkler system
Store manager Alex Lester said the business located at 2350 E. State St. in the Salem Plaza opened at 4 p.m., with the water causing no damage to merchandise. The business is normally open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
"We just had a little bit of a mess to clean up - just a little bit of water damage and some tiles," she said.
Firefighters were called to the scene at 9:05 a.m. for a sprinkler activation after a police officer had responded for an alarm going off and saw a large amount of water running out from under the glass doors at the front of the store.
The sprinkler system had a break and water was flowing in the front of the store near the entrance. Firefighters shut down the sprinkler system and isolated the flow of water. Tarps were used to cover the merchandise and additional tarps were used to evacuate the water from the building.
The report said the electrical supply had to be shut down, with water flowing through multiple overhead lights. The water had to be evacuated from the light fixtures. Store personnel were told to have the sprinkler system serviced before activating it again.
From there, firefighters responded to Prima Health Care at 564 Second St. at 9:28 a.m. after employees reported a water line break. They had already shut down the water to the building.
Water was coming from the ceiling area in the west hallway and also into the light fixtures in the hallway by the breaker box. The area was checked with the thermal imaging camera and everything appeared okay. Waste baskets were used to collect the water.
The previous shift of firefighters had their share of water breaks, too. They received a call at 3:24 a.m. Wednesday to help a resident turn off the water due to a water line break at the home in the 400 block of East Seventh Street. The resident was able to turn it off before they arrived. They were also called at 11:50 p.m. Tuesday to a residence in the 2500 block of East State Street for a frozen water pipe leaking, helping the resident to turn the water off.
At 5:40 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters were called to Ventra at 800 Pennsylvania Avenue for a sprinkler malfunction in the chemical storage room due to a water line break. The water was shut down for that part of the building. Maintenance was working on removing the water.

Burst pipes keep Salem firefighters busy

Frozen pipes led to icy conditions across the city indoors including at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
About one inch of water poured into the courthouse at 26th and California, after maintenance workers attempted to remove a frozen sprinkler system, said Kristen Mack, spokeswoman for Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle.
Workers noticed the frozen sprinkler about 4 p.m. and decided it would be best to repair the unit after courts closed about an hour later, Mack said.
The workers turned off the fire pump in preparation for the repair, Mack said. When they took the sprinkler head off they realized they didnt completely turn off the pump. Thats when the flooding happened.
The downpour occurred just beyond the metal detectors near the entrance of the courthouse. There were no injuries, Mack added.
Workers will stay overnight to make repairs if needed to make sure the building will open at its normal time Wednesday, Mack said.
It will have no impact on court, she said. It will be business as usual.
In Albany Park, a commercial buildings sprinkler system burst about 10:40 p.m., sending water pouring into the 4900 block of North Pulaski.
