MANILA, PhilippinesFor reversing the agenda items to prioritize waterproofing and painting over the installation of a required fire sprinkler system, officials and members of the board of directors of the Urdaneta Apartments Condominium Association now face civil and criminal charges.
Some unit owners filed a case against their association officials early this month after they found out almost a year later that four of the five board members had waterproofing problems which they, not the association, should have repaired themselves.
The association would pay for such repairs only if they involved structural issues and common areas.
The complainants, led by Dr. Daniel Vazquez, wanted the sprinkler system prioritized since Makati fire officials had warned the association of penalties for noncompliance and for the safety of the residents.
But in a meeting in November 2013, the association instead decided to waterproof and paint the building first despite several objections. The decision was not put to a vote, and the officials ignored subsequent written requests for information, the complaint said.
It was only three months later, or in February 2014, that the association conducted a survey to really find out if there was a waterproofing need.
The survey found that of the 56 units in the building, only 33 had this problem, of which 23 were window-related, meaning it was the unit owners who should pay for the repair, the complaint said.
Regarding the sprinkler system, the association was given by Makati fire officials until October 2015 to comply. The warning was issued in March 2012.
The complaint also asked the court to stop the association officials from making Vazquez and all unit owners pay for their legal defense.
The defendants are Carolyn Butler, Jose Santiago Picornell, Jr., Ma. Lourdes Senn, Violeta Gallego, Fausto Preysler and Mark Nocon, building administrator.

Whilst all fire safety sprinkler specialists use the same specification of equipment, the design method used can vary considerably. At Fire Logistics Ltd we harness a huge resource of experience and expertise to analyse each situation. We can offer several different designs to deal with the fire hazard in a particular situation, all of which are regulation compliant. The client is then free to evaluate each and with our help select the option which provides the optimum solution.
Managing Director and design engineer Mike Graham has vast experience of the fire industry and has designed solutions for a wide variety of challenging situations such as :-
Hotel Bathroom Modules We undertook the offsite sprinkler fabrication for 1,000 individual hotel bathroom modules. This involves the installation of two sprinklers for each bathroom and a further sprinkler head projecting into the bedroom. All are pressure tested to 15 bars for 2 hours, prior to despatch.
New Italian Caf/Bar/Restaurant Concept Fire Logistics works with a chain of Italian caf/restaurants a new concept for the UK. We install full sprinkler systems to BSEN 12845, to a retail design from South Africa. Installations have to date been completed in Newcastle and Camberley in Surrey.
Tyre Factory Sprinkler System Upgrade This client needed to increase the height at which tyres are stored, to 7.6m. To facilitate this, we upgraded the sprinkler system, with each sprinkler head capable of discharging 100 gallons of water / min. The work was completed with minimal disruption to the client's operations.
Listed Building Project in Derbyshire We recently undertook a sprinkler installation for an English Heritage listed property in Derbyshire. The project involved installing specialist fire sprinkler systems to four buildings. Our engineered solution enabled the client to avoid putting in expensive fire safety systems, whose visibility would not have been in keeping with this listed property.
Luxury Yacht We worked in Barcelona on a 12 month contract to design & install watermist protection to a luxury 42m yacht. The protection covers accommodation, crew quarters, galley, bridge and engine room and includes the associated detection and fire alarms.
BPI Industries Stockton, Teesside Here Fire Logistics worked in conjunction with Franklin Hodge to replace the fire sprinkler system and water storage tank. We also engineered a temporary solution to provide water supply to the sprinkler system whilst the water storage tank was out of operation.

It's not only your home that's getting smarter these days. Your yard can boost its intelligence too. Rachio, makers of the Iro smart sprinkler system, announced a new update to the company's companion smartphone app that promises to lower residential outdoor water usage by as much as 30 percent.
The new update, Rachio version 1.7, improves the Iro system's ability to monitor conditions on your lawn. Using what the company calls Evapotranspiration Technology (ET), the Iro system can monitor the soil's moisture loss between waterings. If a scheduled watering comes up and there's enough water in the soil already, then the watering is skipped.
Rachio's smartphone app.
Iro also monitor moisture evaporation every week and makes adjustments for water usage. This is a helpful feature as the seasons change and the days get warmer or colder.
We believe software can play a huge role in the fight against water waste, Rachio CTO and Co-Founder said in a statement. The enhancements made to our ET algorithms gets Iro even closer to identifying the absolute minimum amount of water needed to maintain a beautiful lawn or garden.
Beyond water usage improvements, Rachio added Nest Protect integration. The new feature triggers the sprinkler system after the Nest smoke alarm goes off for an extended period of time. Rachio's system then automatically starts the sprinklers in an attempt to keep the fire from spreading to other homes.
The new update also adds a few upgrades such as new vegetation, soil, exposure (shade), nozzle, and slope options to create 168 different watering cycles. Rachio says the new upgrades can also reduce runoff and improve the system's scheduling.
The Rachio app is a free download available from Apple's App Store and Google Play.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WGNO) - The Louisiana State Fire Marshal is investigating a rash of thefts of important sprinkler system parts from a hospital, theatre and a department store.
We actually noticed it when wepicked it up to see what it was,Greg Flathers owner of the Ultimate Party Store in Hammond told NBC33.
The fire hose connector was stolen from the side of the building a week ago.
Representatives from fire and police departments from Hammond, Kenner and Jefferson Parish will join the Fire Marshal for a News Conference Thursdayin Baton Rouge to discuss the investigation into the thefts.
The hose connectorsallow fire departments to pump much-neededwater into burning buildings.
Without that, the fire will spread more. You know, we might get alittle bit of a jump because the sprinkler system will work but wewont be able to produce additional water to it to help control itfrom spreading or getting worse, saidJohn Smith, Fire Chief at the Hammond Fire Department.
Hose connectors are installed in thousands of commercial and residential buildings throughout our area including hotels, schools, nursing homes and theatres.
Flathers said each connector costs about $1,000 to replace.

TIME U.S. cities Eight Firefighters Were Injured Battling a Los Angeles Blaze The fire occurred in a storage building full of combustibles but without a sprinkler system
A huge blaze in a death trap of a building in Los Angeles led to eight firefighters sustaining injuries, local fire officials have said.
The building, a storage facility, was packed with flammable materials, including vinyl records and furniture, yet it had no sprinkler system, was organized like a mouse maze, and had poor ventilation, Reuters reports.
More than 360 firefighters were called in to fight the extremely hot and stubborn major emergency blaze on Saturday overnight, the Los Angeles fire department said in a statement. Though much of it was contained within six hours, putting the fire out took just over 14 hours in total.
Firefighters battled until they were low on air, and had to exit to get new air bottles, then rejoined the fight, the department says. Firefighters also had to slice through the buildings metal roof to let smoke escape.
Five of the eight injured firefighters, all of whom suffered non-life-threatening injuries, required hospital care but were released, the fire department said.
About one-third of the building was damaged in the blaze, and loss to the buildings contents, which included many family heirlooms, is inestimable, the department says.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
