A side-by-side room display set up at the Plymouth Massachusetts Fire Department. Sprinklers had been installed in only one of the rooms. Both rooms were set on fire. Home fire sprinklers are designed to activate when a certain degree of heat increase is reached, so as the temperature in the display went up, the sprinklers went off. As seen in this demonstration, the fire in the sprinklered room was controlled quickly by overhead sprinklers. In contrast, the fire in the room without sprinklers burned out of control until the fire department put out the fire.

Working for a Fire Safe America:

The United States Fire Administration Challenge

America's fire death rate is one of the highest per capita in the industrialized world. Fire kills 3,500 and injures 18,300 people each year. Firefighters pay a high price for this terrible fire record as well; approximately 100 firefighters die on duty each year. Direct property losses due to fire reach over $12 billion a year. Most of these deaths and losses can be prevented!
In fact, America's fire losses today represent a dramatic improvement from more than 20 years ago. In 1971, this Nation lost more than 12,000 citizens and 250 firefighters to fire. Acting to halt these tragic losses, Congress passed P.L. 93-498, the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act, in 1974; it established the United States Fire Administration (USFA) and its National Fire Academy (NFA). Since that time, through data collection, public education, research and training efforts, USFA has helped reduce fire deaths by at least half - making our communities and our citizens safer.

International Residential Code Fire Sprinkler Coalition

International Residential Code Fire Sprinkler Coalition

When the International Code Council (ICC) publishes the 2012 International Residential Code next year, the code will include a requirement for fire sprinklers to be a standard feature in new homes. That requirement was initially added to the IRC in the 2009 edition, and ICC's members soundly rejected efforts by the National Association of Home Builders to have the requirement repealed in 2012.

ICC's membership has spoken very clearly on the issue of residential fire sprinklers, implementing requirements using a gradual and measured approach over a period of more than 20 years.

ICC's legacy organizations began requiring fire sprinklers in multifamily occupancies in the 1980s. Those requirements were extended to single family homes in 2006 via an optional IRC appendix, and in 2008, ICC members approved fire sprinklers as a standard feature to be included in all new homes. That action was upheld on appeal and was then reaffirmed at a 2009 public hearing before the ICC Residential Building Code Committee (RBCC), which oversees the IRC.
When the 2009 RBCC vote was taken, EVERY member of the committee, other than the four who were appointed by the National Association of Home Builders, voted in favor of home fire sprinklers. The RBCC vote was then ratified by more than 1,000 ICC members in attendance at the hearing.
When the ICC final action hearing was held in Dallas, Texas to finish the 2012 Code edition's development cycle in May 2010, there were no public comments opposing the IRC sprinkler requirement. As a result, the requirement will be included in the 2012 edition of the IRC.
