CASHIN QUAY
Discussion On Alarm System i There had been recommendations to the Lyttelton Harbour Board on fire protection for the transit sheds at Cashin quay, but the board was entitled to make its own decision on its own land, the Chief Fire Officer (Mr L, R. Osmond) told the Christchurch Metropolitan Fire Board. Harbour Board engineers had suggested that a sprinkler system would cause too much water damage, he said. “We impressed upon them that sprinklers only cause water damage in relation to the sprinkler heads that are actuated, but they went ahead and made their decision.” Mr F. G. McKechnie said he believed the Fire Underwriters’ Association had refuted a suggestion that sprinkler systems were not widely used in similar transit sheds overseas.
