Fire sprinkler systems are an essential component of most businesses. They are designed to quickly detect and extinguish fires, thereby minimizing property damage and preventing loss of life. The National Fire Protection Association defines a fire sprinkler system as “an integrated system of underground and overhead piping connected to a water supply and containing individually opened valves,” with the purpose of “automatically detecting heat from a fire and initiating the flow of water to suppress or control the fire.” Fire sprinkler systems can range from basic residential systems all the way up to complex commercial and industrial systems. No matter what type of business you run, you need an effective system that is expertly installed and maintained for maximum safety.
