Fire sprinkler systems provide residential homes with a safe, effective way to control or extinguish fires that may start in the home. They are designed to detect heat and flames, activate automatically and then release pressure-controlled amounts of water onto the fire. This activated water supply quickly cools the air and evaporates faster than if left on its own, helping to smother the flames and suppress the spread of smoke and toxic gases. Fire sprinkler systems have become accepted as an efficient and reliable tool in preventing property damages in homes, reducing the loss of lives due to fire, and helping homeowners experience peace of mind in their daily lives.
