Fire Sprinkler

System

WHAT IS A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM?

A sprinkler system is an active
fire protection method, providing
adequate pressure, integrated
system of piping, connected to a
water supply, with listed sprinklers
that automatically initiate water
discharge over a fire area. Where
required, the sprinkler system also
includes a control valve and a device
for activating an alarm when the
system operates.

HOW DO FIRE SPRINKLERS WORK?

Fire sprinkler systems are

triggered by extreme heat
and can quickly extinguish a
fire in the room where it
started.
