Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition

 

 

 

 

 Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take

 the fire department to arrive on the scene. Nationwide, more than 4,000 people die in fires each

 year.

 

 Fire sprinklers save lives, reduce property loss and can even help cut homeowner insurance

 premiums. Its like having a firefighter in your home 24 hours a day !

 

 Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a home fire

 by 82%, relative to having neither.

 

 Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire. Ninety

 percent of fires are contained by the operation of just one sprinkler.

 

 Nationally, on average, home fire sprinkler systems add 1% to 1.5% of the total building cost in

 new construction.
