Fire Sprinkler Facts

Fires kill more people in the United States every year than all natural disasters combined.
80% of all fire deaths occur in the home. The single most effective way to prevent fire-related deaths is the installation of residential fire sprinklers. Combined with smoke alarms, they cut the risk of dying in a home fire by 82% compared to having neither.

HFSC has produced a presentation that follows a home fire in realtime, demonstrating the effectiveness of home fire sprinklers. You can use the movie in your own presentations.

Fire sprinklers can save money for developers, builders, home owners, and communities.
Through the use of trade-ups, developers and builders can achieve reduced construction costs while providing higher value homes for their customers. In the event of a home fire, homeowners can expect financial losses 90% lower than those that occur from fires in unsprinklered homes. Communities can deploy emergency services resources more effectively by reducing the burden caused by home fires.
