This ABC article details how authorities are crediting a new sprinkler system that was being trialled in Lake Rhona, Tasmania as part of their bushfire protection works, as being responsible for halting a wilderness bushfire and protecting the area’s precious environment.
The sprinkler system in use here is known as a perimeter sprinkler and this article demonstrates the effectiveness of the system for protecting larger areas of land. The perimeter sprinkler systems at Bushfire Protection Services Melbourne are typically requested by clients who own large areas with multiple buildings and structures, spaced across the land. Just like the photograph above, the sprinkler system encircles the perimeter and is equipped with several sprinklers that spray water to douse any approaching fires from outside the area.
