WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL FIRE SPRINKLERS?

Chances are, you don’t live in an area like Scottsdale, which mandates the installation of fire sprinklers in the home.  This means it’s up to you to decide to install fire sprinklers.  Here are just a few compelling reasons why fire sprinklers make sense in any home

·         It can only take a fire two minutes to go from a smolder or spark to an out of control conflagration.

·         It takes considerable longer than two minutes for most people to fully awaken and get out of a burning house when a fire alarm goes off.

·         Fire sprinklers don’t just alert you to a fire they will most likely put the fire out.  This can be the crucial difference between lives saved and lives lost in a fire.

·         Fire sprinklers don’t go off by accident.  It takes fire intensity heat to set a sprinkler head off, nothing else will do it.  It’s estimated that only one in 500,000 fire sprinklers malfunctions each year.

·         Sprinklers cost about as much to install as carpets.

·         Fire sprinklers are effective because they cut the fire off before it has a chance to grow.

·         Losses in buildings with fire sprinklers installed average less than one tenth of those buildings without fire sprinklers.

·         Fire sprinklers control over 99% of all fires that start in the home.  In a home without Sprinklers,  there’s a one in five chance your home will catch fire.

·         Sprinklers use only a relatively small amount of water compared to that of a fire department.
