Common Fire Sprinkler Misconceptions
Myth: Water damage from fire sprinklers is worse than a fire.
Fact: A fire sprinkler activates during the early stages of a fire before it grows and spreads. A sprinkler will control or extinguish a fire with a tiny fraction of the water that would be used by fire department hoses. Typically, only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire, not the rest of the house.
Myth: Fire sprinklers go off accidentally, causing unnecessary water damage.
Fact: Accidental fire sprinkler discharge is extremely rare. One study concluded that home fire sprinkler accidents are no more likely or severe than standard home plumbing mishaps. And, despite the Hollywood movie “sight gags”, burned toast and cigarette smoke will not trigger sprinkler operation. Each sprinkler works independently and only in response to fire.
Myth: Fire sprinklers are ugly.
Fact: Modern fire sprinklers are inconspicuous and can be mounted flush with walls or ceilings. Many sprinklers can even be concealed. And, just like regular plumbing, pipes can be hidden behind ceilings or walls.
