Why Bother with Sprinklers??? The short answer is that they SAVE LIVES! Sprinklers reduce the number of serious burns, injury cases, and the amount of damage caused by house fires. The latest research from the American National Fire Protection Association shows: -The death-per-fire rate is dramatically reduced when sprinklers are present. -Property damage is reduced from an average of $17,000 per fire down to $4,000. -When sprinklers are installed, subsequent fires are almost always contained in one room, whereas in homes without sprinklers, it spreads to other rooms in 75% of the cases. -Firefighters take time to arrive after a fire has started and end up using far more water to put out the fire, which itself causes damage — so sprinklers actually work to reduce the risk to lives and property |
