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.
See the movie
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.
