Keeping Your Community Safe
Prevent Substandard Homes From Being Built in Your Community
When a home is built without fire sprinklers, the true cost of a fire far outweighs sprinkler installation cost: injuries, death, property damage, displacement, responder exposure and impacts on municipal resources.
You can prevent substandard homes from being built in your community, protecting residents and firefighters.
Home fire sprinklers are being installed in thousands of one- and two-family homes each year in communities throughout the country. This trend is the result of communities passing ordinances, developers taking advantage of trade-ups and homeowners requesting sprinklers as an option.
House fires are faster and more toxic because of plastics, synthetics, lithium-ion batteries and other content
A house fire can become deadly in as little as two minutes. Here’s why: Today, homes are typically built of unprotected lightweight construction that fails quickly in a fire. They’re filled with products that burn fast and produce toxic smoke.
Home fire sprinklers are the only technology that can stop a fire from becoming deadly
That is why fire sprinklers are in national codes. Removing fire sprinklers from codes allows the construction of substandard, less safe homes. That puts residents, firefighters and communities at risk.
Fire sprinklers can reduce construction costs
With installed fire sprinklers in an entire development, construction costs can be reduced. Incentives include increased hydrant spacing, street width reduction, waived fees, higher density and much more.
