In the case of a fire, installing a residential sprinkler system in your home may save lives and safeguard your property.
According to the National Fire Sprinkler Association, the number of total residential fires has significantly decreased over the last four decades; nevertheless, modern-day fires spread faster and the flames are hotter than they previously were owing to the extensive use of synthetic fibers, leaving property owners with only several minutes to evacuate.
Fire sprinklers might offer you extra time to get out of the property in the event of a fire. As per the report of the National Fire Protection Association, when a domestic fire sprinkler system is installed, individuals are 81% less likely to die in a residential fire, and property loss is decreased by approximately 70%.
