Fire sprinklers are effective tools in the fight against spreading fires in both homes and commercial office buildings. The fire sprinkler is not a new invention, nor an invention that came about in the past century. The concept behind the sprinkler is fairly old, and these devices have had quite a bit of time to accumulate some history. Here are some fun and interesting facts about fire sprinklers.
- Fire sprinklers have been used in the United States since 1874.
- It costs between $1-2 to build sprinklers into a new building, and between $1.50-2.50 to retrofit an existing building with sprinklers.
- A 1988 survey found that nearly half of hotels and motels had sprinkler systems installed. The number is likely higher today.
- Sprinkler installation makes up approximately 1% of the cost of a new building.
- A fire has never taken multiple lives in a fully sprinklered building.
