Did You Know…

• A home fire can become deadly in as little as two minutes.
• Automatic fire sprinklers have been in use in the U.S. since 1874.
• Home fires are deadlier today due to the lightweight building material and flooring that burns faster and are made of synthetics that create deadly smoke as they burn.
• The death rate is more than 80% lower in homes with fire sprinklers than in homes without fire sprinklers.
• Nationally, the average cost of installing sprinklers in new homes can range from $1.35 to 3.66 per square foot.
• Home fire sprinklers detect a fire and control it automatically and nearly 85% of the time, only one sprinkler activates during a fire.
