Statistics demonstrate that there has never been a multiple loss of life in a fully sprinklered building where the system operated as designed.
Sprinklers are a cost-effective technology that provides for a high level of life safety.
Residential fire sprinkler technology is proving both reliable and effective. As positive as this information is however, there are still common misunderstandings about the operation and effectiveness of home fire sprinkler systems. Usually, only one sprinkler is activated to extinguish or limit the fire to its room of origin. However, smoke alarms do nothing to extinguish a growing fire. Too often, battery operated smoke alarms fail to function because of dead or missing batteries.
