CJ Suppression

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.
