A recent report emphasized that the devastating fire at Luton Airport, which destroyed 1,352 vehicles, could have been contained more effectively had a sprinkler system been installed. While such systems are not mandated for car parks, their absence hindered the response time and efficiency of emergency services, underscoring the need for enhanced safety measures in parking structures where high-value vehicles are stored.
The blaze, sparked by a red Range Rover, escalated rapidly, with flames visible only when the driver reached the third floor. The incident drew the response of 100 firefighters and injured four, highlighting significant challenges in managing fire emergencies in multi-storey car parks without adequate fire prevention systems.
