The following information was gathered from Tufts University:

Smoke detectors save lives by providing an early warning to a smoke or fire incident. But can do nothing to extinguish a growing fire or protect those physically unable to escape on their own, such as the elderly or small children. Too often, battery operated smoke detectors fail to function because the batteries are dead or have been removed. As the percent of homes in America that were “protected” with smoke detectors increased from zero to more than 70%, the number of fire deaths in homes did not significantly decrease.

Sprinkler heads are individually activated by fire temperatures in excess of 155°. Residential fires are usually controlled with one sprinkler head. 90% of all fires are controlled with six or fewer heads and a study conducted during the 80 years of automatic sprinkler use found that 82% of the fires that have occurred were controlled by two or fewer sprinkler heads.

Sprinklers provide a high level of safety. Statistics reveal that there has never been any multiple loss of life in a fully protected building. Property losses are 85% less in residences with fire sprinklers compared to those without sprinklers. The combination of automatic sprinklers and early warning systems in all buildings could reduce overall injuries, loss of life and property damage by at least 50%.

Did You Know?

The following information was gathered from ThoughtCo, “Henry S. Parmalee of New Haven, Connecticut, is considered the inventor of the first automatic sprinkler head. Parmalee improved upon the Pratt patent and created a much more practical and better functioning sprinkler system. In 1874, he installed his fire sprinkler system into the piano factory that he owned. In an automatic sprinkler system, a sprinkler head sprays water into a room when the heat reaches the bulb and causes it to shatter.”
