• Eight of out 10 fire deaths occur in the home.
• Fire sprinklers save lives, reduce property loss and can even help cut 

  homeowner insurance premiums.

• Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in

  less time than it would take the fire department to arrive on the 

  scene.

• Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the

  risk of home fire death by 82%, relative to having neither.

• Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water 

  directly on the fire. Ninety percent of fires are contained by the 

  operation of just one sprinkler.*

• Nationally, on average, home fire sprinkler systems add 1% to 1.5%

  of the total building cost in new construction.

• Home fire sprinklers use only a small fraction of the water used by 

  fire department hoses.

• Modern residential sprinklers are inconspicuous and can be 

  mounted flush with walls or ceilings.
