Most people don’t realize that 8 out of 10 fire deaths occur in the home. They usually happen at night when people are asleep. People also do not understand how fast fires spread and how they can go from a tiny flame to total destruction in as little as three minutes.
Fire sprinklers can suppress and often extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives, giving people time to escape.
