Have you also heard that a smoke detector is all you need for fire protection? If so, you've heard another one of the most common myths regarding fire sprinkler systems: We don't need them if we have a smoke detector. You've probably also heard the annoying beeping noise it makes when it needs some attention. You've heard about the importance of a properly maintained smoke detector. Fortunately, the clever engineers who developed these systems designed them to reduce the damage to your property from water, smoke and fire. After all, if you burned a piece of toast, every sprinkler would go off, soaking all of your belongings, even though there never was any real danger of fire. If that were the case, sprinkler systems could potentially cause more harm than good.
This belief is a spinoff from the myths we just mentioned - that sprinklers are activated by smoke and every sprinkler head goes off at the same time. You might think installing a fire sprinkler system is like choosing water damage over fire damage. In this article, we'll dispel other myths and learn the ins and outs of this important safety technology. These are just two of the many misconceptions about fire sprinkler systems. But did you know that sprinklers aren't even triggered by smoke, and they don't all go off at once? Fire sprinkler systems are actually heat activated, one sprinkler head at a time, and most fires usually require only one or two sprinklers to be extinguished. You've probably seen a number of movies where a small amount of smoke triggers all of the sprinklers in a building, soaking everyone and everything inside.
