Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems have been the biggest breakthrough in fire protect in the last 100 years. Fire sprinklers are the most effective method of protecting lives in their homes. Sprinkler systems are now recognized as being so effective they are being mandatory in many situations.

As a society we are dismissive of the risks of fire. Individually, we think fires only happen to other people. We sometimes assume we are too intelligent to fall victim to a fire. This false sense of security is lulling us into making poor decisions regarding the protection of the lives and property we are responsible for. We are not installing sprinkler systems in locations where they could and will save lives.

You never know when or where a fire will start in your home or commercial premises. Imagine if you could have a fire-fighter stationed in every room - 24 hours a day, ready to stop a fire the minute it broke out. That's what fire sprinkler systems are - instant fire-fighters.

Everyone has heard about fire sprinkler systems, yet few understand the amazing benefits they provide. Even less people realize that you can fit a residential fire sprinkler system in your home for about the same cost as fitting new carpets.

Fire sprinklers have been so successful at reducing fire causalities and property damage around the world, that many regions have passed local laws making it mandatory to fit them in new homes and offices. Some regions are even making it mandatory to retro fit fire sprinkler systems into selected existing buildings.

In June 2005, the National Fire Protection Association in the US voted to make it mandatory to have sprinklers installed in all new one and two family dwellings. Even more promising is the fact that we are taking a similar approach in the UK.

The Scottish Executive recently announced new measures to protect the most vulnerable from fire. From 1st May 2005, new and converted care homes, high rise flats and sheltered housing must fit automatic fire sprinkler systems.

It is estimated that there are now in excess of 100 UK schools fitted with automatic sprinklers. Housing Associations are also recognizing the benefits and increasing number are fitting sprinklers into HMOs (Housing of Multiple Occupancy). More and more people are beginning to install sprinklers based on the factual benefits they bring.
