Does being new make a home safe from fire? Absolutely not. In
fact, all unprotected home fires burn hotter than ever today and become deadly in just two minutes or less. Buy- ing into this common myth puts you and your family at great risk.
Homes burn fast for many reasons, from open design to building materials to their contents. On top of that, much of today’s home fur- nishings are made from syn- thetic, polyurethane-based materials, which cause fires to spread more quickly and produce toxic smoke.
You can see for yourself how quickly a home fire be- comes deadly by watching a new virtual reality video developed by the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coali- tion. Shot live during actual
home fires, the new videos provide user-controlled, 360-degree room views of fires without and with an in- stalled fire sprinkler. You’ll be able to look all around you to experience the fires and the sprinkler activation in real
time, as if you were inside. The free videos are available at homefiresprinkler.org/vr.
In the video without a sprinkler, the flames and smoke spread fast, reaching flashover at about 2 minutes. The video with an installed
sprinkler tells a very different story. Although the smoke alarm signals at about the same time as the unsprin- klered room, (26 seconds into the fire), the heat from the fire activates the sprin- kler at the 37-second mark,
