Fire SAFE Ontario

The Fire Sprinkler Alliance for Everyone (Fire SAFE Ontario) was created as a not-for-profit organization to educate, promote and advance residential fire sprinkler systems in Ontario.  Fire SAFE Ontario is committed to passing legislation requiring fire sprinkler installation in all new residential, apartment and condominium construction in Ontario.

Residential Fire Sprinkler System Facts
Sprinklers respond independently to each other so only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate.  Ninety per cent of fires are contained by the operation of just one sprinkler and the likelihood of a sprinkler system malfunction is one in 16 million.  The average insurance claim in a home fire where there is a sprinkler is $1,000 and it is $15,000 when there is no sprinkler system. Residential fire sprinkler systems cost one to one and a half per cent of the total building cost of new construction and will save on homeowner insurance.
