- 80% of all fire deaths occur in the home. Fire sprinklers can reduce the chance of dying in a fire by one-half to two-thirds.
- 90% of fires are contained with a single sprinkler. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire.
- Sprinklers only operate in response to high temperatures of a fire. Therefore smoking, steam or cooking vapors cannot activate a fire sprinkler.
- Home fire sprinklers use only a fraction of the water used by fire department hoses. There are several types of fire sprinklers available – some are concealed by a plate, some are installed on walls and some are installed on ceilings. Images representing residential fire sprinklers are displayed to the right.
- Fire sprinklers cut insurance premiums.
- Fire sprinklers are designed to save lives, but because they control fires so quickly, they also reduce property damage.
- Fire reports show that property damage is nine times lower in buildings that have fire sprinklers.
- Fire sprinklers protect your property 24 hours a day, automatically.
