Residential Sprinklers for home - for family

How fire sprinklers work...

1. Residential Fire Sprinklers main purpose is LIFE SAFETY.
2. Their second purpose is PROPERTY PROTECTION.

Sprinkler systems supply water to a network of individual sprinklers, each protecting an area below them. These sprinklers open automatically in response to heat and spray water on the fire to contain it or even extinguish it.
Because these systems react so early in the course of a fire, they reduce the amount of heat and flames, as well as the amount of smoke produced.
