pushes

for sprinkler bylaw

THE WEST Vancouver Fire
Department made a_pres-
entation Monday night at
West Vancouver District
Council supporting a pro-
posed West Vancouver
bylaw to designate man-
datory sprinkler areas above
the Upper Levels Highway.

Although West Vancouver has
been at the forefront in promoting
the installation of sprinklers in
new homes, West Vancouver Fire
Chief Colin Evans said it was im-
portant to continue to emphasize
the need for bylaws that require
sprinkler installation.

“*The record for fires in Canada
is the second worst in the indus-
trial “world. We're just lucky we
haven't lost a life in this com-
munity since 1987,°’ said Evans.

He underlined the problems
associated with fighting fires in
West Vancouver where the struc-
tures are often large and can be
located in difficult terrain.

“‘Sprinklering gives us the ob-
vious benefit of saving life and
saving property — as well as im-
proving safety for firefighters,’’
said Evans.

The undeveloped areas above
the Upper Levels Highway are of
particular concern to the fire
department, in part because of the
increased distance from fire-
fighting facilities.

“In the winter, when there is o
snowfall, abandoned cars will
block many of the roads,"’ said
Evans.

He showed a film that com-
pared fires in two identical rooms:
one that was saved because of a
sprinkler and one without a
sprinkler that was completely
destroyed in minutes.

While builders are often reluc-
tant to go to the expense of in-
stalling sprinklers, the film argued
that the cost was slight compared
with the costs of fighting a fire in
a building that had no sprinkler
system.

“We believe that this is the
most important bylaw we have
ever put before you,”’ said Evans.

Ted McLean, a private consul-
tant to British Pacific Properties
Lid., said that while he has volun-
tarily participated in having
sprinklers installed in the com-
pany’s buildings, he was curious
about the record of fire safety in
sprinklered homes,

“‘We have not yet had a fire in
a sprinklered home in West Van-
couver,’’ said Evans, although he
noted that a fire at Park Royal
Shopping Centre had been put out
by sprinklers before the fire
department had arrived.

According to Evans, there has
never been a life lost in a home
fitted. with a quick-response
sprinkler.
