FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS - A L Fire Systems
It is a well known fact that on average two people die and at least fifty are injured
every day due to fires in the UK alone.
Sprinkler heads are set off individually and directly by the heat
of the fire. Therefore only the heads directly affected by the fire are triggered.
One sprinkler head will usually control a domestic and industrial
fire.
Because a sprinkler attacks the blaze directly and immediately
when it is small, it only needs a small amount of water to control the blaze.
Smoke detectors and fire alarms can save lives
but they do not extinguish a growing fire or protect those unable to escape such
as the disabled, infirm, elderly and children.
Sprinklers provide a high level of life safety. Statistics show that there
has never been any multiple loss of life in a fully sprinkled building.
Fire sprinklers are the most efficient and effective safety devices.
Over the past 130 years, fire sprinklers have had more than a 99%
success rate in controlling fires around the world.
