Description
A sprinkler system is a water-based fire suppression system that automatically activates when it detects heat from a fire. These systems are installed in ceilings throughout buildings and are designed to release a controlled amount of water to suppress or extinguish fires before they spread. Sprinklers are activated individually, so only the sprinkler closest to the fire will discharge water, minimizing water damage to the rest of the building. These systems are highly effective at containing fires quickly and are required by building codes in many commercial and residential buildings.
