How They Work

• A single residential sprinkler can protect a room area up to 20’ X 20’ – with an average house requiring only 20-30 sprinklers
  
  
• Each sprinkler protects the area below it. Only a threatening fire can generate enough heat to activate a sprinkler – typically at 155°F.
  
  
• Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire and the area that the sprinkler has been designed to protect.
  
  
• Sprinklers can control or even extinguish the fire before it can build deadly heat and smoke so you and your family can escape safely, and limit damage to your home.
  
  
• Your Rapid Response system can be linked to the local fire company or home alarm system so that they are immediately notified when a sprinkler activates.
  
  
• In less time than it would take a fire department to arrive on the scene, a single sprinkler can control or even extinguish the fire.
