Sprinkler systems are extremely important and are a key component of the “Life Safety System”. However, it is important to remember that sprinkler systems suppress rather than contain fire. Sprinklers are useless against smoke and deadly gases. If you consider that nearly 70% of fire-related deaths are caused by smoke inhalation, the need for a firestop system is even more critical.
