History of Fire Sprinklers The inventor of the automatic sprinkler, Henry Parmelee, originally created this fire protection device to protect his piano factory back in 1874. In other words, he had spent a lot of money on his piano business and the financial risk of losing his equipment and inventory to a fire was much greater than the cost of installing fire sprinklers. Today, risk management is a standard practice for any business manager responsible for protecting company assets. Insurance companies soon learned how fire sprinklers significantly reduced their risk of loss when insuring millions of dollars of business assets. It was these insurance companies looking to reduce their liability exposure that drove the support and eventual legislation of fire sprinkler requirements in commercial buildings and soon to be residential buildings as well. Be ahead of the game! Your home is no different. What do you have in your home that insurance cannot replace? |
