With fire sprinkler systems, only the sprinkler head(s) closet to the fire is the one that activates; others will not come on until there is a direct need; contrary to popular perception, they do not all come on at once.

On average, the installation of fire sprinklers in new residential construction is estimated to make up around 1% of the total building cost.

These days, fire sprinkler systems are no longer unsightly. There are many different options for sprinkler head assemblies for every taste and décor, including recessed sprinkler heads.

Senior citizens and children under the age of 5 have the greatest risk of fire death. Sprinklers protect these most vulnerable populations who may not have the physical or cognitive ability to escape a burning building.

When you own a multi-family property, a fire can cause significant financial loss, both through the damage it creates and through the income you lose. To ensure your fire sprinklers are adequately protecting your property against the spread of fire from one unit to the next, it’s important to ensure your sprinklers get the regular maintenance they need.

When one fire sprinkler head goes off to fight a fire, the entire sprinkler system does not automatically activate. Sprinklers react to temperatures in individual rooms which helps to contain any damage to a minimal amount.

In a building fire, it isn't unusual for the temperature at eye level to rise rapidly, make breathing difficult. In five minutes or less, the indoor temperature can become so hot, a flashover condition will occur, igniting all the combustible materials in the vicinity.

According to a joint study by the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition and FM Global (an insurance provider), installing and maintaining fire sprinklers can reduce risk of fire damage by 97 percent.

It’s important to remember that the goal of fire sprinklers isn’t always to put out the fire. In many cases, slowing the spread of the fire to other areas will buy time for the fire department to arrive on the scene and put it out.
