What should I do if my home builder or architect has questions or says I don't need fire sprinklers?

Most fire chiefs around the country will recommend fire sprinklers, as they have witnessed first-hand their benefit to life and property safety. Some, but not all architects and builders are educated, at least partially, about residential fire sprinklers. If your builder and architect are not familiar with these systems, have them contact the organizations below for information.

And, if your builder or architect tries to discourage you from finding out more about your possibilities, you can obtain information by contacting any of these resources.
