Home Fire Sprinklers Save Lives
Fire kills more people in the United States annually than all natural disasters combined. In fact, more than 4,000 people perish in fires each
year, and ironically, most fire deaths occur in the very place where we feel safest—our own homes. Home fires often happen at night when people are
sleeping. In only three minutes, a room can become engulfed in flames before anyone awakens.
Home Fire Facts
- Eight out of ten fire deaths in the U.S. occur in the home.
- Every 79 seconds a residence burns.
- Sprinklers and Smoke Alarms together cut your risk of dying in a home
fire 82% relative to having neither—a savings of thousands of lives a year.

“My brother-in-law insisted that I install a
sprinkler system when we built our new home. At the time, I
thought it just added building cost. Now, 8 years later, I can’t
say “Thank you!” enough for his insistence that our family be
protected.” --Cutler, IN
