Building owners or managers may invest in a fire sprinkler system as a way to protect people and assets from fires. Often a fire sprinkler system can contain or extinguish a fire, minimizing damage to the building. Fire sprinklers contain a heat sensitive component that activates when the sprinkler reaches a set temperature. Only the sprinkler or sprinklers that reach the temperature will activate. Fire sprinklers may be found in homes, schools, offices or government buildings. Fire sprinkler systems are usually installed and maintained by professionals. Some building codes may require fire sprinklers. Some building owners may purchase a fire sprinkler system as a way to prevent loss or injury in case of a fire.
