- All new homes in California will now be built with fire sprinklers. To answer people's questions California State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover explains how sprinklers work and how easy they are to maintain. Video provided courtesy of the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition HomeFireSprinkler.org.
Great video, I was a building engineer for 30 years and we did fire system test annually. It was interesting how people believed movies when it came to sprinklers and we had to explain that it would cause more damage if the sprinklers on another floor went off when there was no fire there. Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly and concisely.
thanks for your support ^^
thanks for this video it helped me and my family survive
Very informative
Sprinkler protection should be mandated for ALL new residential construction. It saves money, reduces damage from water, and reduces insurance premiums.
@demo man from my code book (i am a licensed sprinkler fitter and do classes for all updated codes,and revisions of codes ) it reads that any piping that can or will be subjected to any freezing temperature must either be a dry system or antifreeze i.e. glycol or glycerine.i live and work in ohio so we see this frequently with freezing temps and people laying insulation over pipe or heat tape.And we go through and point it out to the customer in nfpa.
Things that are needed.
I am a fire alarm enthusiast and I want a sprinkler system so bad LOL!
One good thing that California did!
You can't beat the safety. I am a retired fire inspector and trust me, if there is ever a fire in your house, which is more common than you may realize, this is the way to go. Think of it this way. If you are in a home without fire sprinklers, and a fire occurs, NOTHING is there to put out the fire and you need to get out somehow around the fire. Meanwhile, the fire continues to grow until the fire fighters arrive, which can take up to 15 minutes if you are far away from a fire department or all local departments are super busy at that time. This puts out the fire very quickly, with minimal water damage, whereas the fire fighter hoses will spray in huge amounts of water, damaging everything in their path.

when do a water flow test does that flash the water in the fire sprinker
Is there a backflow preventer on fire sprinkler system.
there so many videos recommending and showing how to turn off the water to the home while on vacation and they do not understand this shuts off the fire sprInkler system to the home for emergencies. I wish there a way to do both. Shutoff water to main home but leave the fire sprInkler water line active.
How manu hours to use testing for 1flr for fire protection springkler

I wonder when it will be mandatory in Ontario to have a house sprinkler system?
She's beautiful. I really like the way she talks.
