5 Myths About Fire Sprinklers

5. Fire sprinklers are only for commercial buildings.

[{"selector":"#anim-5f03e18d-bd4f-477c-8c84-eef19500f290 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.9228723193519%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-375ab6b9-b2c6-41a1-a575-e7a35074bb52","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6f40c6e-8b00-4c0d-89df-d6324eaa6fa1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -371.0012%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

4. Smoke can trigger a fire sprinkler.

[{"selector":"#anim-d613840a-4eb5-4045-bf48-4e02374f0976 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.50199456253792%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ddd1ad2-f740-4d54-b7f5-127421024563","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35d7902e-db89-4497-b13d-28f7a446e3c4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -465.67056%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

3. Fire sprinklers often activate accidentally.

[{"selector":"#anim-d3b266f1-5d79-4571-99c5-24a2b905fe68 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.452127540958735%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49d3bcf5-1e2b-443c-9194-b776ca0962ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b9c5c98-e727-42f0-bc1c-f2172fdbc545","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -465.67056%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

2. Sprinklers cause extensive water damage.

[{"selector":"#anim-02fdd2b4-0abf-4025-8968-56f0c90ec995 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-49.359283913155544%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-19ff480b-a684-4ef1-87de-ba81544ced7f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e46cdaa0-925b-4897-a934-84c71e9ef826","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -465.67056%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

1. All sprinklers activate at once.

[{"selector":"#anim-406fbbbd-1ee8-4d4e-bd22-1be4dbfa0197 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-53.07226867680278%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e29c72c5-df6c-4367-a86a-faaf1f1d1dd9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c52da16-94f5-440c-8279-99f8bedd0fb2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -608.30814%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
