Why Fire Sprinklers?   - 80% of all fire deaths in the US, occur in the home. That’s about 3500 deaths per year. - The National Institute of Science and Technology reports a potential 82% reduction in fire deaths should fire sprinklers be installed in all residences. That’s 2870 saved lives. - During the last three years in Scottsdale AZ, the average fire loss in homes with sprinklers was $2,166, compared to $45,019 in homes without sprinklers. - In a home with an automatic fire sprinkler system, 92% of fires are PUT OUT by 1 sprinkler head. - "Our biggest challenge is dispelling the myths that the entire system activates," Fire Official from Scottsdale AZ. - A home fire sprinkler will dispense about 13 gallons per minute (gpm). Each fire department hose will dispense up to 250 gpm and there can easily be 2-4 hoses pumping water into your home to extinguish a fire. - State Farm Insurance as well as other insurers offers 5-10% discounts for properly installed automatic fire sprinklers - The odds of accidental sprinkler discharge due to manufacturing defect are 1 in 16 million. You’ll win the lottery 4 times before a sprinkler fails. - A single fire sprinkler extinguishes a fire 1 minute after it starts. The fire truck will arrive and start fire suppression in 8-13 minutes after a fire starts. YOUR HOUSE WILL FLASH OVER AND BE LOST AFTER 8-10 MINUTES. The fire truck is there to protect your neighbors home from your house fire, not save your home. - Modern residential sprinklers are inconspicuous and can be mounted flush with walls and ceilings.     What do home fire sprinklers cost?   - Of course it will depend on how the architect designs the rooms, but the following is very common. - An automatic fire sprinkler system adds approximately 0.75% - 1% to the cost of a new home and can be placed in any size home. - Another determination for approximate cost is $1.50 – $2.00/sqft. A 3000sqft home would be about $4,700. - A Fire Sprinkler system ads value to your home unlike fire insurance.
