People are now more conscious and are taking steps into installing fire sprinkler systems into their homes. Residential sprinklers add that extra line of defense should the worst happen. Fire sprinklers can suppress and often extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives, giving your family time to escape. Fire sprinkler systems are proven cost effective and they save lives.
All home fire sprinklers operate in response to the high temperature of a fire, usually 135°F to 165°F. Smoke or a smoke alarm signal cannot operate a fire sprinkler. Each sprinkler reacts to nearby high heat individually. Unlike movie special effects, fire sprinklers do not flow water simultaneously. |

The Water Sprinkler System operates automatically while the fire is still small, controlling or extinguishing it (often before the fire department arrives). That fast response limits the spread of flames, heat and poisonous smoke. In 90% of home fires, just one sprinkler is needed to control the fire.
