The fire sprinklers that are so prominent in our places of work and recreation are eerily absent from our homes. I think some people are forgetting that we still have another from to cover, a place we sometimes overlook in our busy American lives, our homes and more importantly, our families. I think we need to take another step. Most people don't think about it, but in fact our homes are a real concern for fires. Some might call it an overprotection to ask to install residential fire sprinklers, but I think it is just an act of prudence.
Fire sprinklers can help save lives.
Technology has now developed and advanced so you are able to cover up the sprinkler head with a cap that blends in with your room. The cap falls off in a fire, but makes the sprinkler hardly noticeable in your house. Installing a system is also cheaper than people might think. In new house construction it costs about as much to install a fire sprinkler system as it does to install the carpet. Most houses today have smoke detectors, yet smoke detectors can only do one thing, warn you of a fire.
