In its recent Panorama 3 programme, NDR included an article on care home fire deaths. Two experts were consulted and both called for sprinklers. They pointed out that there are increasing numbers of elderly people, who are often unable to save themselves when there is a fire in a care home, and that it takes time for the fire brigade to arrive and evacuate them. We hope that this sort of action will help to move the consensus in Germany, where there are no requirements today to fit sprinklers in care homes. See NDR Panorama 3
