What should I do if their home builder or architect has questions or says they 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 a builder or architect is not familiar with these systems, have them contact the organizations below for information.

And, if a builder or architect tries to discourage people from finding out more about their options, they can obtain information by contacting any of these resources.
