If a sprinkler head has gone off, or a pipe has been accidentally hit, your fire alarm system will react to the water flow by activating your alarm system. This can be an extremely stressful situation. Water is flowing, alarm bells are sounding all over your facility, your monitoring station is calling you, and you are likely hearing the sirens of the fire department getting louder and louder.

Fire sprinkler systems are today the top fire detection technologies in the market. They have evolved significantly over the years. Today you never have to worry about your property being flooded just to combat a small fire problem. Modern-day fire sprinkler systems in Toronto are smart and designed not only to reduce the damages that are caused by fire and smoke but also damages caused by water.
According to research, the installation of fire sprinkler systems can prevent loss of property as well as death by more than 65%. The fire sprinkler systems are designed to be triggered automatically whenever levels get to fire-specific temperature. One sprinkler is capable of containing the fire in a room and preventing extensive damage to property. Moreover, when compared to fire horses, fire sprinkler systems use less water.
If you already have a smoke detector installed, you will still need to install a fire sprinkler system. This is because the use of a smoke detector is only to alert you or the fire department about a fire. To put out the fire, you will need a working fire sprinkler system. This is because alerting the residents about a fire is as important as taking the steps necessary to keep the fire from spreading. These systems work together.
There are many types of fire sprinkler systems. The type installed will depend on where it will be installed. Today, the most common types of fire sprinkler systems are wet, foam, dry, and deluge fire sprinkler systems.
Wet fire sprinkler systems have steel pipes that are filled with water. When there is a fire, the high heat causes the core of the sprinkler head to burst thus discharging the pressurized water to put out the fire. It is good to note that each sprinkler is independent so they are not all activated at once. This makes it possible to significantly reduce damages in the event of a false fire alarm. Moreover, the wet fire sprinkler system reacts faster than other systems. They are also cost-effective, simple, and reliable. This is why they are so common. The drawback is they cannot be installed in areas prone to freezing.
A dry fire sprinkler system, on the other hand, is usually filled with air. When the sprinkler head is triggered, the compressed air is released, changing the pipe pressure and pushing water into the system. These are ideal for areas that are prone to freezing. Dry pipe fire sprinkler systems work slower but release more pressurized water. They are more expensive than wet fire sprinkler systems because they are built using larger pipes. Proper maintenance is required for dry fire sprinkler systems thus making them costlier to maintain.
These are fire sprinkler systems designed to release both water and foam to extinguish the fire. The system is recommended in commercial buildings that handle hazardous components as well as flammable liquids. As a result, foam fire sprinkler systems are mostly used in aircraft hangers, industries, and workplaces.
These are hybrid fire sprinkler systems that take advantage of both the dry pipe fire sprinkler system and the wet pipe fire sprinkler systems. The main drawback is that these systems are very expensive to install and have high demands when it comes to maintenance. These fire sprinkler systems are often found in commercial properties like museums, libraries as well as data centers. They are ideal in places where accidental discharges from the fire sprinkler can cause significant loss.
This is a unique fire sprinkler system that lacks the heat sensing elements found in dry pipe and wet pipe fire sprinkler systems. The system relies on a common trigger which opens the valves. When the valve is opened, water is released to all sprinklers, and the whole area is sprayed. Because of how it works, the deluge fire sprinkler system is not common in homes and most commercial buildings. This is because of the mess it can cause in case of a false fire alarm. It is mainly used in industries that deal with flammable liquids.
