Fire Sprinklers protection system should be mandatory

Jan 21, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Please permit me the opportunity to share my thoughts on fire protection systems. As we are aware of the fire at the Laparkan bonds/warehouse where the bond was completely destroyed by fire, I am grateful that nobody was injured and the great job the Guyana Fire Department has done to extinguish the fire.
A Fire Sprinklers protection systems could have avoided all that damage caused by the fire, the laws of Guyana Fire Department and the Guyana building codes requires Fire Sprinklers protection systems for bonds and steel frame structures to have Fire Sprinklers protection systems. Why is it that building/business owners do not adhere to this most effective method of Fire protection for the safety of their employees and property? Is it because the property is insured that there is a don’t care mentality? Or the safety of the building occupants doesn’t matter, just to provide a service and not care about safety of the occupants?
The main Fire Sprinklers protection system should be mandatory standard procedure for all commercial buildings three-storey and higher and the protection of bonds/warehouses. If the leaders of our country are moving Guyana forward as a developing nation then please put laws into place that we must adhere to and that the safety of our citizens and their property, business and goods or products are safe and protected.
I do hope that Laparkan and others will consider Fire Sprinklers protection system for the safety of their business and customers goods, products, etc…..
