Home fires pose a serious threat to every community. When fire sprinklers are installed, the threat is automatically diminished, preventing injuries, saving lives, and preserving property.
New homes are typically built with unprotected, lightweight wood construction and designed with large, open spaces, making them deadly in two minutes or less. Homes are filled with synthetic furnishings that burn hotter and faster, producing more toxic smoke. Emerging technology, such as lithium-ion batteries, can also cause fires to grow rapidly. Regardless of a home’s age, fires burn faster than ever and become deadly more quickly.
