AN IMPORTANT HOME
FIRE SAFETY FEATURE
The risk of dying in a home fire decreases by about 85% if sprinklers are present. Research shows when sprinklers were present, fires were kept to the room of origin 97% of the time. That means the sprinkler activates and puts out the fire before it has a chance to spread to other places in the home. The National Fire Pro- tection Association and the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition want you to know these facts.
If a fire starts, the closest sprin- kler will activate, spraying water to control the flames, heat and deadly smoke. That fast control gives you time to escape to safety. In most cases, just one sprinkler is needed.
FIRE SPRINKLERS USE LESS WATER
When a sprinkler activates, it flows at a rate of 10-26 gallons of water per minute — a fraction of the water that fire hoses use. Be- cause of the sprinkler’s fast action and less water flow, the property loss in a sprinklered home fire is far less than in an unsprinklered home fire.
It takes 9-12 minutes or more for a fire department to get notifi- cation, respond and begin suppres- sion. In that time, an uncontrolled

fire will grow and spread through the home, becoming potentially deadly in 2 minutes or less. A sprinkler controls the fire before it can spread, protecting residents and the responding firefighters.
sprinklers detect the fire and auto- matically control it, saving lives and property.
SPRINKLERS ARE RELIABLE
Fire sprinkler mishaps are gen- erally less likely and less severe than home plumbing system prob- lems. Proper installation elimi- nates worries. Maintenance is simple.
TAKE ACTION NOW
Test your smoke alarms and practice your escape plan with your family. If you are thinking of building or buying a home, ask for fire sprinklers. They provide peace of mind, protecting you and your family should you ever face the threat of a home fire. Learn more at homefiresprinkler.org.

Working smoke alarms are es- sential in every home. But they can only detect a fire, not fight it. Fire
