The Advantages of a Home Fire
Sprinkler System

With Fire Sprinklers

When a fire starts, the heat from the fire will cause the sprinkler closest to the fire to operate. The quick action of the sprinkler gives residents more time to safely escape. Fire growth stops and flashover is prevented. By controlling heat, flames and smoke, the sprinkler system protects additional property from the fire. The water dispensed from a sprinkler is much less than what would be required by fire department hoses to do the same job.

Without Fire Sprinklers

Without fire sprinklers, the fire will continue to grow, spreading heat and toxic gases. The fire becomes deadly within minutes. Once flashover occurs everything in the room is on fire. The room is untenable once flashover occurs. Firefighters will use hoses that flow large amounts of water to extinguish the fire. The home suffers more damage from the fire and water than if it had fire sprinklers.
