- Almost 85% of all fire deaths, in the USA occur in the home.
- OUR Fire sprinklers save lives, property loss is significantly lower and can streamline owners premiums.
- These Sprinkler Systems are very effective. The response is wicked quick in a fire. They reduce the risk of death or injury from a fire because
they significantly shrink the
heat, muffle flames and smoke produced, allowing folks the time to evacuate
the home.
- Home fire sprinklers can control and
may even extinguish a fire in less time
than it would take the fire department to arrive on the scene.
- Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate,
spraying water directly on the fire. In 90% of home
fires where the sprinklers operate, just one sprinkler
operates.
- If you have a fire in your home, the risk of
dying is cut by about one-third when smoke alarms are present (or about half if the smoke alarms are working),
while automatic fire sprinkler
systems cut the risk of dying
by about 79%.
- In a home with sprinklers, the average
property loss per fire is cut by about 69% (compared to fires where sprinklers were not activated.)
- A Fire Protection Research Foundation report found that
the cost of installing home fire sprinklers averages $2.22 per sprinkled square foot.
- Modern residential sprinklers are inconspicuous and can be mounted
flush with walls or ceilings.
- Sprinklers operate in all but 7% of home fires when the system is initiated. Human error was a factor in most of the short comings of the systerm.
The system was shut-off in more than three of every five failures.
-
All national model safety codes include fire sprinklers as a minimum safety requirement for new home construction.
