Comparing Homes with and without Fire Sprinkler Systems – Corona, CA

CJ Suppression in Corona, CA likes our clients to be informed about the benefits of having a sprinkler system installed in your home or office. A new report conducted by Fire Planning Associates, Inc. and the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition compares homes with fire sprinklers and homes without fire sprinklers relative to fires and its damages. The study reviewed about 7,000 homes both with and without fire sprinkler systems installed. Out of those 7,000 homes, there were 90 home fire fatalities in homes without fire sprinklers and zero fire fatalities in homes with fire sprinklers between the year 1988 to 2010. The report also demonstrates that the average property loss in homes with fire sprinklers was $14,000 in damages; on the other hand, homes without fire sprinklers saw an average property loss of $179,896 in damages. A spike in damages and property loss is not the only concerning part of the study since it also discussed the fact that it takes an average of 340 gallons of water to extinguish a fire in a home with fire sprinklers compared to the nearly 6,000 gallons required to put out a fire in a home with no fire sprinklers installed. In conclusion, the study shows how installing a fire sprinkler system in your home is not only a luxury but can also save lives, money, and resources.

Residential Sprinkler System Saves Community – Corona, CA

CJ Compression advices the use of fire sprinkler systems installed in residential locations since they can help subdue fires as well as save property and lives. When a fire broke out in a condo in the city of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, a fire sprinkler system was able to contain it until firefighters were able to get to the scene. Once firefighters arrived, a dog was immediately rescued and the fire put out. Had it not been for the fire sprinklers going off, the fire would have for sure spread to other units thus causing more losses. Residential fire sprinkler systems should be a necessity since it is better to take precautions than to try to replace a lost home or life.

Massive Fire Subdued by Fire Sprinkler System – Corona, CA

CJ Compression is aware of the fact that the environment around a fire can be the difference between a small fire and a colossal blaze. On January 6th in the city of Lufkin, Texas, a small fire broke out in a regional recycling center. Although all workers had left for the day, a worker from the nearby waste management office heard the sprinkler alarms go off and called the firefighters. When firefighters arrived, there were visible flames, however, the fire had been successfully contained by the sprinkler system. Had the sprinkler system not been in place, an empty recycling center plus a tremendous amount of flammable material, would have been the perfect environment for a large scale fire. This is one of the reasons why CJ Compression recommends setting up a fire sprinkler system, it can not only save your property, but also lives.

Fire Sprinklers – Essential for new Home

For a few people, when building a new home, a fire sprinkler system is not a seen as a fundamental part of the new home. However, installing a fire sprinkler system can save the life of your family as well as reduce damages and costs caused by a fire. Even if smoke detectors are installed, they can take up to 2 minutes to activate. During this time, the fire can grow blocking off exit routes and smoke can enter your system, making it difficult to properly escape the affected area. Deputy Fire Marshal Jonathan Leonard states that a family should evacuate a fire in about four minutes and concludes that the window people have to escape a fire has reduced from twenty minutes in the past twenty years since today we have less solid wood furniture and more plastic and foam materials that burn faster. At a child safety conference, a fire sprinkler exhibit was displayed to showcase the importance of installing a sprinkler system. The experiment consisted of a room with a sprinkler system installed and a room without a sprinkler system. Both were then set on fire to demonstrate which room sustained less damage. The room with no sprinkler system installed quickly reduced to ash and smoke, while the room with a sprinkler system installed remained practically undamaged.  Having a sprinkler system installed in your home or business should not be a luxury; it should be a necessity since it can potentially save lives.

When firefighters arrived to the building, only a small fire was found in one of the rooms. Since a sprinkler head had activated, it kept the fire from spreading and deteriorating more parts of the building. There were no injuries and the fire was under control in about 15 minutes.
