Have I mentioned that sprinkler systems don't work like you see on television? Okay, I thought so.
Residential sprinkler systems differ from commercial type sprinkler systems in their purpose. Like I mentioned last week, commercial systems are designed to save property by putting the fire out completely, thus, stopping extremely large fires from happening, which result in millions of dollars of damage and loss.
Residential systems are designed to keep the fire in check and provide time for the occupants to escape. Statistics show that 8 out 10 fire deaths occur in the home. Although it's not what they're designed for, it has been determined that in 95 percent of the cases the residential sprinkler system also ends up extinguishing the fire.
