Protect What You Value Most!
Learn the facts about home fire sprinklers.
Did you know home fire sprinklers and smoke alarms reduce your risk of dying in a fire by 82%?
Home fire sprinklers are:
Reliable — they only spray when the temperature in the room rises quickly. The sprinkler above the fire is the only one that sprays.
Low cost — a sprinkler costs about $1.35 per square foot in a new home. This cost is about the same as upgraded cabinets or carpet.
Safer for the fire service — the risk to firefighters is much less. Sprinklers reduce the heat, flame and smoke from a fire.

Community risk reduction
A community risk reduction (CRR) program can help your department take what you already know and lower the risks within your area of operation. CRR uses a wide variety of tools to form a strategic and integrated program focused on reducing the occurrence and impact of local risks.
There are dozens of ways you can use Fire Is Everyone's Fight to help teach people in your city or town to be safe from fire. Join the fight for a few ideas to get you started.
