A fire in a high-rise building can cut off escape down the stairs. Fire ladders can only reach up to the tenth floor. If there is a fire, you are out of options.

Eighty-five percent of the fire deaths recorded annually in the United States occur in homes.* Sprinklers provide the ultimate protection from fire for your property and your family. Sprinklers will extinguish a typical residential fire in less than one minute to dramatically improve survival rates.

How safe would your residential high-rise building would be in the event of a fire? If it doesn’t include fire sprinklers, the answer is simple: it’s not safe enough.
