Sprinkler Systems

Fire sprinklers help reduce water damage.  On average, fire hoses use more than 8.5 times the water that sprinklers do to contain a fire. 

According to the Scottsdale Report, a 15-year study of fire sprinkler effectiveness, fire sprinklers use an average of 341 gallons of water to control a fire.  Firefighters use an average of 2,935 gallons.  Reduced water damage is a major source of savings for homeowners.

(From the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Fact Sheet as published in IAFC On Scene)
