New residential construction in California requires fire sprinklers. Of course there is no new construction happening in fucking California and to install a fire sprinkler system in an existing home requires pulling permits and having the install done by a licensed fire sprinkler contractor. In short it’s super expensive even though one can easily cobble together a system using sharkbite pex, which is fire rated, the appropriate fittings, and pendant sprinklers all tied into the water main if you have enough pressure coming in. I could do my house for around $300 bucks, but it would be non permitted. (Which is exactly what I’m going to do and if I ever move I’ll disconnect everything and take it with me.

Those glass bulbs won't pop for a cigarette or even your grannies birthday cake covered in a hundred candles. Red fluid sprinkler bulbs pop when they reach 68 C. If its 68 C at your ceiling, you have a fire.

>>524827570

Yet Grenfell survived umpteen fires decade after decade until the town planning approval office said 1) You need cladding for environmental reasons and 2) You need to bend the cladding into a particular shape to hide the screws on it which will eventually go rusty.

(2) Turned safe cladding which passed fireproof regulations into a chimney that burned 5x faster and released 10x as much poison gas as fitting the cladding in the standard (not bent) way.

T.Actually read the full report.
>>
>>524828645
The red thing is a glass bulb filled with a fluid that expands when hot. When it gets too hot, it bursts and releases water from that sprinkler, and that sprinkler only. Movies show it setting off every sprinkler in the building, but that's not how they work.

And I’m installing arc fault protection breakers and redoing walls with type x fire rated drywall. Why? Because I live in a tinder box for one, an older mobile in what is considered a high fire risk area. Because of that, our insurance was cancelled, even though I am in a spot that is literally a traditional desert zone- there hasn’t been a major fire in the spot where I live since they’ve kept records, but a few miles over is brushland and we’re all in the same zip code, so we were all cancelled. Well, fuck the insurance scam, and fuck the county and their permits… I’m investing in real insurance - sprinklers, type x drywall, gfci breakers, and eventually rockwool insulation.

Maybe Slovakia is a cut above the rest of Europe. However these aren't required in new multi-unit residential construction in most of Europe, which is insane considering how cheap and effective they are.
>b-but we design our buildings to not catch fire
That's no excuse. You're supposed to have multiple layers of safety, so that if something gets fucked up in one layer you still have the others to keep you alive. This is why bongs are particularly retarded with blaming the entire fire on the flammable panels, >>524828716 while forgetting to ask why that single failure wasn't backed up by other safety considerations like actually having a fire alarm in the building.

Sprinklers aren't terribly effective either. They tend to slow down the spread of a fire, but they don't trigger early enough to prevent one from escalating, and usually don't extinguish it, as such it's entirely pointless to have them in small residential buildings as long as you have fire alarms and manual extinguishers, which are drastically more effective, economical, and less damaging.
These systems only make sense once a building becomes large and spread out enough you need a central fire alarm system and the building takes more than 2 minutes to evacuate.
>>
>>524828959
They are present. But not everywhere.
For new factories, warehouses, shoping malls and so on, they get installed. As then insurance is cheaper. Sometimes in hotels too, if they are big enough.

For sprinkler sytems, there need separate pumping station with sensors. When they sense pressure drop (sprinkler glass capsule exploded), then pumps start to work. Increasing water pressure in piping. Usually to 10 bar.
If previously in piping was say 2.5 bar, then at moment of activation, more water gets pumped in, and sprayed all over the place.

For such systems be economically viable, there is kinda "area" at which it is worth to install. For small restaurants it might not make economical sense.

>>524830438
>but they don't trigger early enough to prevent one from escalating

There is glass capsule, which contains liquid which boils at like 65 degree Celsius. And that is all there is. It reacts on local temperature. If for some reason it exceeds (say, next to oven from Pizzeria), liquid in capsule will start to boil, capsule will burst and water will start pouring in that area.
That mechanism is that simple. In most cases, works surprisingly well.

Sprinklers are incredibly effective at slowing and containing fires, and thereby, at saving lives. If they succeed in putting the fire out, all the better, but that isn't necessary for sprinklers to be effective at saving lives.

>as long as you have fire alarms
pic rel had no sprinklers, no fire alarms, only a single staircase, and yet bongs think the ONLY problem was the flammable cladding.

>>524830616
>you just smoke bong and then whole apartment building is flooded
That's not how sprinkler work, retard. Smoke doesn't set them off, heat does. The amount of heat needed to set one off greatly exceeds the amount of heat you can produce with all the bongs and candles your hippy ass can muster. Furthermore, one sprinkler going off doesn't set off the rest in the building, thats a HOLLWOOD myth. Sprinkers are INDIVIDUALLY triggered by extreme heat, not collectively triggered.
>>
>>524830616
>and then whole apartment building is flooded because the retard sprinkler detected smoke which was not danger

Those are not "sprinklers". Those are "drenchers". Different stuff, and rarely used.
>>
>>524830739
Your "apartment buildings" are blast furnaces without so much as even fire alarms.

It's worth noting most major fires have exactly one cause:
>ridiculously combustible shit all throughout or around the building
So maybe don't do that? You can't count the cases a house burned down due to a kitchen fire during the last 5 decades on one hand, but of course there's other factors:
>electrical system
Don't fuck this up.
Worth noting most people in a building fire tend to die from smoke inhalation, so by that logic there should also be gas masks everywhere, yet for some reason nobody has these. That will easily buy people a few more minutes to escape in the worst of situations, although no more than that unless it's bottled oxygen/compressed air, which is a little pricey but definitely worth it if you like the idea of not dying in a fire.
And there's the fire exists of course right; a huge proportion of mass casualty fires involve an absence of emergency exists or locked ones. Doors aren't that expensive.

>>524830701
That's why there's different temperature ratings - obviously you don't want it to trigger too easily either, while the alarm on the other hand should be as sensitive as possible - not a big deal to have a false alarm.
Guess a factor should also be the way a building is occupied and how big the potential fire sources are. With a dwelling where no fire should occur when nobody's present a manual extinguisher should be fine, while in commercial spaces that god knows what might happen and explode a sprinkler system certainly is sensible.

Here in local news on TV, in past year we had several cases when jeets somehow managed to get kitchen in fire (in apartments they rented). How they managed to get that, is out of my understanding. Probably would be useful to create special training seminar for jeets and similar, how to properly and safely use gas stove.

Few hours ago, several kilometers from where I live, kinda was explosion in one of commie block buildings. Not much info is known, but it looks that it was gas explosion. With non-zero chance that some jeet is involved (relatively close to one of universities, where a lot of jeets study). Will be curious to find out is it true.

Water on oil sounds plausible. Suspecting that they might be doing some extra actions which made things more dangerous.

After some similar incidends, reputation about jeets spread, and now there is harder for them find apartments for rent. Apparently they themselves think that it is because others perceive them as dirty. While, there is also that "danger to my property" effect too.

And is this about the fire is the Alps? Clubs and whatnot are super dangerous. But in the US where entertainment like pyrotechnics happen, they don't just have the normal sprinkler system that goes off when they get hot enough. There's also a "deluge system" that is literally just a big valve someone can run up to and turn on and shitloads of water will pour into the stage.

If that anon is so concerned about electrical fire safety, proper torque on all the electrical fasteners (conductors under screws or lugs) is essential. It means that as the conductor heats and cools with load changes, the screws and lugs won't work their way loose. The latest version of the NEC mandates proper torquing of all electrical connections.

The bigger problem is burning oil is MUCH hotter than the vaporization temperature of water, and has a large specific heat as well, so when liquid water touches burning oil, the water will instantly vaporize. And steam being what it is, that means it instantly expands, basically the water explodes on contact with the burning oil and that causes the oil to spray everywhere, mixing with the air and making a huge fireball. That's my understanding of the dynamics, anyway.

Water is also heavier. When poured, it tries to sink on bottom, and hot (less dense) oil tries to remain on surface. Pot is also close to oil smoke point (around 300 degree Celsius). Part of water tries to evaporate, and there is oil which tries to remain on top of water. And yes, steam spreads stuff around.

The specific heat of water is high enough that it remains liquid just long enough to sink to the bottom of the oil. THEN it flashes to steam and blows the burning oil all ove the place.

At that point I had two choices. Either fuck off to another party that wasn't on fire or use the lid of the pan that was sitting right next to the stove. I slapped the lid on and suffocated the burning oil, turned burner off, used a dish towel to move the pan over, and blotted out the fire with a dish towel.

Why don't you burn to death like we do in Germany?
>>
>>524839266
Movies aren't real, sprinklers don't work like that. The only way they go off is when heat bursts that red capsule. And only the one that is heated will go off, not the whole building (another hollywood lie.)

I read somewhere that sprinklers were there but failed

Problem with splashing a bit of water on a grease fire is that displacing the oil without cooling it below combustion temp just displaces the fire. With a big enough stream it should work but youd make a hell of a mess

Obvious answer is to grab a fire extinguisher if were past the point of putting a lid or covering with a dripping wet cotton towel

PS. I work in sprinkler system design so practical fire suppression is not my specialty. Also the job sucks

In video you can see pipes. At ceiling. Those might be for sprinklers (upward position). Or might be for something else.

Very unlikely there were sprinklers, they wouldve visibly activated by the point many videos show

For the combustible load of the building and its contents, a typical commercial water based sprinkler system wouldve suppressed the fire. If the system was installed, it was completely non operational (drained and shut off), which is so unlikely that its most likely the just didnt have one in the first place
>>
>>524839609
PS those look like electrical conduit, not any sort of water pipe. Sprinkler systems in commercial spaces must use iron/steel pipe

>expensive fire safety
Commercial buildings in the US aren't even built without sprinklers in the first place. They cost mere dollars per unit and installing them is just plumbing. This isn't "expensive fire safety", this is table stakes for running a business.
>>
>>524840468
For me, it looks like 1/2 inch pipes. Might be steel pipes painted.

One thing is that there is sprinklers installed. But they could also been turned off for reasons, like some fitting leaking. Delayed fixing to after new year, when there are way less customers.
Basically, same as story that with having emergency exits, but those are been closed shut, because of some reason.
One thing is having some kind of system. Another is, to actually use it.
>>
>>524840940
Night clubs are constantly deliberately blocking off other exits to prevent people from sneaking in. It happens over and over again. This might be one rare case when that didn't happen, but only because there weren't any other exits in the first place..
>>
>>524840663
To be clear, a fire sprinkler system would made a fucking mess, but that fire would been easily put out. Especially in Europe where they like conventional sprinkler heads which do direct part of the spray upwards (here we just use standard spray heads, which only spray horizontally and below)

>>524840940
I mean the smallest you can use is 1" steel (I think yall call it 25mm) or 3/4" copper to feed a single head (no one uses copper due to cost)

But its the spacing of the piping I saw in some videos, normally Id expect 8'-12' between sprinkler lines. The piping I saw was running maybe 12" apart, usually something I only see for electrical runs. Do you have any pictures you were thinking are sprinkler lines?

More than decade ago, we had incident when roof of shopping center collapsed. Before it, there was fire alarms happening. Maintenance company engineers arrived, found that there is no fire, they turned sirens out. People continued to shop.

Thing was, that under the roof, there are also laser sensors. At closer to roof height, they shine that laser beam across the hall, on special reflector. Then it bounces back, and sensor checks how much light arrives. If there is smoke or other obstacles, then alarm gets trigered. In this case, it was triggered, because building started to deform (construction with tractor and earth compactor on the roof, as there wanted to make kinda park/squire). Because of that deformation, beam did not hit that reflector anymore, and signal strenght was disturbed.
Alarm was going on. Evacuation was not done. Specialist arrive, but did not understood cause of that alarm. At the end, 54 dead.

Even if there is installed some safety system/equipment, there is risk that it will not be used. Proper training helps a lot.

Different countries, different regulations. They have their unique electric plug. Would not surprise, that they would be allowed to use thinner pipes.
>>
>>524838279
>there's no safety mechanism against retards like these
It's becoming a big problem with our laws and regulations, because they assume our citizens are not (absolute) retards, and that the few of them, who do break the laws, because they are too stupid, are few in number.

But that is no longer the case.

But try to change anything about the status quo IN GERMANY, and you're obviously a Nazi if you don't support the BRANDMAUER!

Seems pretty effective and I'm glad I see them in large buildings and apartments here. Idk what Europe's deal is if they don't use them.
I bet they do a lot of damage but better to deal with water damage than risk a massive fire

In video in this post. If you look at the ceiling, there is multiple pipes.
If not mistaken, in standard configuration, sprinklers are in 2.5m distance from each other. So they might not have been in a video shot, if they were installed at all. Upward position, to reduce risk that someone will hit it while moving something around. Which would make them even less visible.

>>524827439
There was a big club fire in Dublin in '81 so all the clubs are heavily regulated for fire safety. But it will probably happen again soon with all the invaders everywhere.

>>524841956
In the USA theres a strong lobby run by the manufacturers, installers, and insurance companies that sets really strict requirements for most building codes adopted by states/municipalities. Overly strict imho but hey it means I have a job

>>524842302
Thats the one I saw too. If the building had sprinklers, at least 1 wouldve been in the area that was on fire, and wouldve been set off by that point in the video. That by itself convinces me there were no sprinklers (or the system was shut off completely which again is unlikely for an occupied video)
>>
>>524829346
I was skeptical of sharkbites when they first started getting used but I will now stand by them. They are amazing. I have seen copper soldering blow way more often.

As for heating they are likely using the wrong type of pex. You need HE-pex but it's more expensive so people cheap out.
>>
>>524842917
>at least 1 wouldve been in the area that was on fire, and wouldve been set off by that point in the video
That would be, if someone did not close the valve. For some reason.
Sprinklers pops, few drops of water drops. But because disconnected from main source, nothing happens further.
Most likely you are right and there was no sprinklers installed. But who knows. Still slim chance that were. Need to wait for more info.
