Sprinklers can not only protect lives, but they can also reduce damage to property in the event of fire and help reduce the overall cost of fire to either the homeowner or the organisation providing the housing.

Operation of a sprinkler system will rapidly control a fire, raise the alarm and reduce the rate of production of heat and smoke, allowing time for occupants to escape.

Modern residential sprinklers are small, neat and unobtrusive.

Generally a system for a new property would be about two per cent of the total build cost.

Sprinklers control/extinguish 99 per cent of fires.

Sprinklers control 60 per cent of fires using four sprinkler heads or less.

Sprinklers can lead to a significant reduction in property loss in the event of a fire.

There is the potential for savings arising from a reduction in insurance premiums.

You can trade off protection afforded by sprinklers against the need for other fire safety measures.
