Schools, office buildings, factories, and other
commercial buildings have
benefited from fire protections sprinkler systems for over a
century. To prevent
investments in buildings and machinery, the textile mills in New England
began
using sprinkler systems over 100 years ago following a series of
devastating
fires which claimed many lives and destroyed entire businesses.
But what about our homes? Although we protect our business from fire, what
actions do we take to protect our families, our homes, and our possessions
from
fire? Millions of Americans have installed smoke detectors in their homes
in the
past few years, but a detector can only alert the occupants to a fire in
the house
it cannot contain or extinguish a fire Residential sprinkler systems can! |

States Fire Administration indicate that the installation of
fire sprinkler systems could have saved thousands of
