The Best Safety Device Ever Invented
 

It's clear that sprinklers are a smart choice.  Many people call them the best life safety device ever invented.  Here are some startling reasons why they are growing in popularity around the country and around the world.
  • There has never been a fire death in the UK in a home fitted with sprinklers.

  • There are over 40 million sprinklers fitted world-wide each year.

  • Theatre Royal Drury Lane had a sprinkler system installed in 1812 ? possibly one of the first installations in the world. 

  • According to the Scottsdale Report, a sprinkler takes 341 gallons of water to control a fire.  Firefighters on average use 2,935, eight times the amount of water.

  • Sprinklers do not 'false alarm'.  They only operate if there is an actual fire. Only one in 500,000 sprinklers discharge accidentally each year. 

  • Sprinklers are the only devices which can detect a fire, sound the alarm, call the fire brigade and control or extinguish the fire. 

  • Losses from fires in building protected with sprinklers are estimated to be one tenth of those in unprotected buildings. 

  • Where sprinklers are fitted, the system controls over 99% of all fires.  The reason is simple - they control the seat of the fire before it has time to spread.

  • The cost of fitting an automatic sprinkler system to a new home is about the same as the cost of the carpets.  What would be more important to you?

  • Sprinkler systems don't just detect the fire - they control or extinguish it.
