Residential Fire Sprinklers

• Of the 2.5 million fires reported each year, 500,000 of those occur in residential structures.
• Smoke detectors save lives by providing a warning system but can do nothing to extinguish a growing fire or protect those physically unable to escape on their own, such as the elderly or small children.
• Sprinklers rarely leak. They are tested at 175 psi for 24 hours. Standard plumbing is only tested at 60 psi.
• Sprinklers cause less damage than the fire itself. A sprinkler will control a fire in its early stages and will use considerably less water than the Fire Department would.
• Having both fire sprinklers and smoke detectors will increase the chance of survival in a fire by as much as 90%.
• Sprinkler heads are individually activated. Heads operate when heat reaches around 165 degrees (the heat of a fire) and neither smoke nor smoke detectors will set a sprinkler head off.
• In 90% of residential fires, the activation of 1 or 2 sprinkler heads is sufficient to control or extinguish the fire.
