Generally defined, a commercial fire sprinkler system will help to control or extinguish a fire during the early stages of the incident. This is so it will be much safer and easier for any and all occupants to get out of the building, as well as for firefighters to extinguish any amount of fire that may remain. This type of system can also decrease the liability of a business in the event of a fire. This is because sprinkler systems are considered to be “a reasonable level of care,” which essentially means that the owner of a building could end up paying more than $1 million per life that is lost as a result of fire if a sprinkler system wasn’t present. Furthermore, in some states, businesses will be able to qualify for specific tax income reductions if their building has a working sprinkler system.
